Here's a song not many people remember, but it's a great dance track worth adding to a Rock n Roll dance playlist. It was a top ten doo-wop hit in 1961.

Here's a video that presents a great example of various factors that turn dancing from merely good into fabulous. As a dance teacher for many years I was often at great pains to get students to understand this one thing.

When rock 'n' roll dancers hit the floor for a jive they don't beat around the bush. They get on with it. They need music that does the same. The song Beating Around The Bush by Australian band Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons from 1976 doesn't beat around the bush either.

Each year in September the South Australian coastal town of Victor Harbour springs to life with the dazzling sights and thrilling sounds of a Rock 'n' Roll festival.
