SENIOR PROM: DANCE HITS OF THE 1950’S & 1960’S

On Thursday, June 26 from 1:00-3:00 pm, join us as John Clark offers a 2-hour version of his usual music history presentations, but this time with an added Dancing portion! John will share about teen-oriented dances and the songs named after them from the period between Elvis and the Beatles, roughly 1958 to 1964. These include the Stroll, Twist, Swim, Mashed Potatoes, Hully Gully, Watutsi, Monkey. Jerk, Loco-motion, Hitch Hike and many more. In addition to the narration, the songs and videos will be played in their entirety, suitable for audience participation, for actual dancing. You may want to watch the screen and actually attempt to learn the dance steps, or you can make up your own steps (or just watch those people out on the dance floor!) Think of it as an educational record hop or dance party, so feel free to dress up in gowns and suits and join us for a new twist on the “Prom Night” tradition.

Please register at 617-730-2770.
