Airdate: circa February 1963
I posted a clip a couple of years ago of the kids dancing to this song during a 1964 "memory day" where they danced to the hit songs of '63. This clip aired sometime in late January, Feb. or possibly early March (no way to really know the exact date) when the song was still climbing the charts. "Walk Like A Man" hit #1 on March 2nd.
Dancers: Richie Cartledge with Geri Ianetti (0:15), Gary Stapleford (0:22), and Bobby Baritz with Michelle Liebowitz (0:41). At 1:36, on the far left of your screen, watch for Pat Carpino and Sandi Bartholomew to walk around and go right to the front of the "line" for the last few seconds of the song as Bobby and Michelle clear out. I'm not sure if the more popular "star regulars" were allowed to walk to the front any time they wished but it does seem that the front "line" is frequented by the more popular dancers. I wonder if the other kids minded this, or maybe they were just happy to be on the show (?)
Brought to you by @jthyme - thank you, again, Gary
Thank you for watching!

Glad everybody likes this! What's weird is that I found it on a "reel" of odds and ends clips of old TV shows, movies and ads and this was somewhere in the middle.....just out of nowhere. Nothing else on the reel had any music clips of any kind. When I saw this, I knew I just HAD to send it to Aron so he could share it with everybody here.

Thanks Gary and Aaron. Yep, the regulars hit the front line by hook or by crook. LOL. According to early 60’s regular Arlene Sullivan production more or less monitored who got the face time during each episode. Those who were frequently up front and center were some asked to drop back to make way for others. Also, once dancers reached age 18 they were invited to leave the show. Far more rigid about the age constraints than what the future would bring. Great clip. Thanks for the upload!

Awkward energy is always better than an awkward lack of energy. As a DJ I can tell you I've seen some extremely awkward situations while DJing events. Like when I did a children vs parents dance contest during an elementary school dance, and I put all the children on one side of the room and all the adults on the other side. Everyone was instructed to dance like crazy and do all their best dance moves. I started the music and looked up and saw that many of the young children were dancing but literally no adults were dancing at all. Instead the all just stood there completely motionless and staring at me for some reason with blank looks on their faces. That's how they stayed throughout the entire dance contest, and of course the kids won. A DJ friend of mine later told me that most people nowadays have no idea how to dance. So if you don't instruct them on specific dance moves that they need to do, they are completely clueless.

Great group "The Four Seasons". Even if you had been stranded on a remote island, and came back to civilization...the second you heard Frankie Valli's voice you knew it was them. They had a great career singing popular music. 9 or 10 months from this air date, the long skirts would be gone and the young girls would run to the stores to buy mini-skirts.

I know, they were soooo afraid it would be taboo and controversial for the ABC networks to show 2 guys dancing together, straight or gay, especially down south. You'd be amazed at how much more tough some gay people are than some straight people. Like how that 'Boy Named Sue' was extremely tough ;)
