Dancing In the Fifties

Throughout the nineteen-fifties, times were neat; full, long flared skirts and bobby socks gals wore, while rock and roll and doo-wop moved our feet to music slow and fast on the dance floor. Each Saturday, we'd all go to Hi-Y, where classmates gathered to have fun and dance. Most partnered with their special gal or guy- that music of the fifties did entrance! A Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On, would move our bodies- arms and legs so fast. But, with slow songs like, Love Me Tender- drawn to dance real close with partners unsurpassed. So simple were the times we spent back then, that dancing, for teenagers, was the best treat we looked forward to each weekend when we could relax and rally, unsuppressed. Only You, and Rock Around the Clock- It's Only Make Believe, and Peggy Sue; Don"t Be Cruel, My Prayer, and Jailhouse Rock- these drew our feet to each dance rendezvous!
