Wow, what a 'time' then, even with all the problems in the world...I loved it!

These TV programs should have continued to be aired forever twice a week with young people dancing so well dressed. And it should be required for every young person to be dancing on these shows, like work, study, and athletics, at least once a month.

I grew up near Pittsburgh,and fondly recall watching shows like Teen Time,Dance Party(with Clark Race),and Come Alive(with first Chuck Brinkman and then Terry Lee).Better music. Better tv. Better days. These clips are great MosesTKrikey!

They are having a genuinely good time!

They finally had broadcasted it in color.

These kids can dance. Period.

Show aired in June 1968. In another clip of this show, Del plugs a July 5th Pittsburgh Civic Arena concert. All music from that period.

brill track!

Yes, this is the best of Carolina beach music! They're doing "the horse" because they're probably northerners but if you go to Myrtle Beach TODAY they'll be shagging to this song. Love the legendary Tams!

When you're young and breaking into radio/TV broadcasting, ya gotta start someplace small. So I suppose Del started in the metropolis of Steubenville OH instead of NYC or Philly.

Cool so close to pittsburgh! 1960s and in Color! Thanks for posting!!!

Fantastic track, i love The Tams this was massive in the U.K,ktf.

Great Tune!

I remember that song in 68 loved it then & still listening in 2020. Wonder who the girl in yellow dress was?

You are a much better person to talk to than a 15 years old I am sure :) Young folks have no clue that they are young...thats the flipside of being young :)

i just love this video

Fabulous, what a great tune

When dancing with yourself was still in the coming :D

they are like 60 today....woooow....

Love the neru jacket on the host.

This is what inspired the Charlie Brown cartoon character's dancing. Goofy and robotically awkward. They look like they're having seizures. Lol

Good video. I wanted it to continue and hear the Vogues sing Turn Around Look At Me.

I found these clips purely by accident, but I am glad to see them. I love the fact that the dancers look like young ladies and gentlemen. I love the way they are dressed. I would be interested in seeing more episodes/clips of this show for sure. THANKS for posting.

Most of the are doing The Horse, a dance that was popular when I was about 8 years old.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🤎🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 I was 6 years old when that song came out

As a UK soul fan, I have to agree. The originator of the greatest shuffle dance in the UK was Major Lance on "The Beat" (check it out). If you had rhythm it was spectacular to see, especially as the dress styles (combination of Milan/London/Liverpool/Detroit/Chicago) were spectacular Mohair Soul days. When the scene had class, it had a lot of class. Later Northern Soul disappeared into its own narco-haze as has House etc. "Skins" were damaged youth who were led by psychos believe me.

I bet they all developed mighty six packs doing that 'up... up... yeah ! ' dance.

The reason that you think that they are so conservative is that Southeastern Ohio is conservative(the youngest mayor of any city, Ronald Hooker, was a mayor at 18 years of age of a city Newcomerstown, that is only 50 miles away from where this TV dance show was made and transmitted!!!

@Khultan pretty sure it's mid 1968

boys and girls this is considered Carolina Beach music now lol I Love the Tams I think General Johnson wrote this song

These are the most conservative kids I've ever seen on a sixties show.

LMAO ... the dancing is funny

Aw, go on why dontcha, eat your damn cabbage

Not Doing the SHAG !

Dress to impress 😎

check out the mardrin collar on the host.... all that missing is the medallion..

Different song but they are still doing The Horse.

@Khultan Sure they were hip....but I was responding to sombody who stated that they look so conservative....they were hip but they were not hip in the sense of flower power, taking drugs, letting their hair grow etc...that was hip too back then...But the kids in the vido are not that age......They want to look pretty yet and not going against establishment. :) I like it though :)

Crackin...hop hop hop.

All "Skins" ever did was smoke cigarettes and try to intimidate. They had one dance which was crap and then they got thrown out to hang around street corners like their "Teddy-Boy" dads had done before they went to jail. "Skins" had no style and lese class - unlike the music. I say this as a member of the Wigan Casino, Twisted Wheel (Manchester) and Cavern Club (Liverpool). As the song said "Young America has been responsible for most of the world's dance crazes" Amen I say to that!

Yes we are - and it's scary

Del Curtis couldn't possibly have been from Steubenville or Weirton -- not with that Jersey accent of his. Seeing these old clips bring back floods of memories. (Any from the Stan Scott days??)

@tumsabai1 But it says that the song is from 1970. So, either you're totally wrong or the information I got is wrong. But this vid looks like a 60s, late 60s.

These kids were under the age of 10 in the late 50s.

pgh, that was the first thing I thought. No way in hell did this guy group up in that area with his NY/NJ accent. He reminds me of Vince Offer, the Sham Wow guy

WHERE DID SOMEONE GET THIS FROM.. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR OUR SCHOOLS EPISODE..

@Filmdude0 Sorry to cut in on the dialogue, but they were more likely more hip than you take them for, I mean, you're 36 years old....YOU WEREN'T ALIVE IN THE 1960S.

@powergirl901 That's because they are so young yet.....They are like 15 I assume.....and too young to be freaked out already.

:) :)

But, you'd go for a fanny pack, black socks and sandals and a speedo. Huh!

I dont know what these plonkers are doing here!! At the same time these muppets were dancing like this, the skins the uk were having a real dance to this music, and all those pretty pretty girls would have something else to dance on.. :o) Brilliant sound tho"

@carbonlarge It's really strange how you go on with the blah blah when you say 'the skins, the UK were having a real dance to this music'. Sure, alot of the dances from the US were copied by the Brits and the rest of the world, and quite badly. But then another issue is your age. You're 56 years old. You were 13 in 1968. I wouldn't credit on that.
