Coffee Break: Dance moves
September 19, 2017
Today in 1960, former chicken plucker Chubby Checker went to No. 1 on the U.S. singles chart with "The Twist".
Many songs out there have a chorus that teaches you how to do certain dances, or at least mentions the name of a dance move. And even more songs mention dancing in general. Let's see if we can avoid the wedding tropes (for the most part) and dig deep to put together an awesome set of music today.
For today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that mention dancing - with special bonus points for songs that mention specific dance moves?
