The 10 Best Dance Crazes From The ’60s… Which One Was Your Favorite?

5. The Stroll

OK, so technically “The Stroll,” was released in the late ’50s (December of 1957), but we definitely remember people dancing to it in the ’60s. Written by Clyde Otis and Nancy Lee, The Stroll is probably the slowest dance on this list. The dance itself was performed to many different songs, including “C. C. Rider,” by Chuck Willis on American Bandstand and Link Wray’s “Rumble.” The dance consists of two lines of dancers facing each other(men on one side and women on the other), with a paired couple stepping out to do a more elaborate step up and down the rows of dancers. In the following clip, you’ll see a group of youngsters performing the dance on a local television dance show in Idaho.
