Boy From New York City - Manhattan Transfer
The Boy From New York City as recorded by Manhattan Transfer in 1981 is an excellent track for Rock n Roll dance. It has a medium-fast pace with a strong beat.
That's just about perfect for most Rock n Roll dance styles. You can back-step, triple-step, six-step or modern swivel-jive to it.
Experienced dancers can cut loose and have a ball. Beginners can feel empowered to dance without being too fast for their skill level. That's important, as practising dancers should never get out of control to the point where they stumble, miss cues or their dancing becomes untidy. Aside from looking unsightly to observers, they are practising bad habits that can become ingrained. That in turn can lead to injuries and people just giving up.
Include Boy From New York City in any set designed for serious Rock n Roll dance.
