My mom loves the Stroll. Every time it would come on the radio, she would dance it (unfortunately the oldies station now doesn't play it anymore). A few years back, she was at some event with her senior citizen group and they were doing different dances from the 60s and my mom was the only one who remembered how to do the Stroll!

I was in my 20s in the 60s and my friends used to make fun of some of these dance moves. But maybe that’s because we were older but the kids who grew up in the 60s loved it

@discobean54 Жыл бұрын

Just live it now... go to a place where the DJ will play for a mixed crowd, get up there on the floor and dance like they did back in the day. Ain't no big thing, people didn't take themselves so seriously back then, it was all about having a good time. Just gotta get over worrying about other people and do your own thing. I have often been the only person on a dance floor having a blast just cutting loose.
