    I did "The Stroll" so many times with my mom in our living room. She taught us kids all the "old" dances and we were constantly dancing in our home. Always makes me smile to hear this song.

    I was 9 in 57and I never missed the show. Watching the show is how I learned all the dances. I'm 70 now and I still dance.

    During that period, there were quite a few dances you had to learn. We would watch Bandstand to keep up on all those steps. We used to have dances at the gym, and sock hops. This brings back a lot of memories.

    I was a preschooler and my sister a teenager in ‘57, and I still remember her “practicing” her dancing with me when American Bandstand was on. RIP, big sister.

    The ladies were well dress and the young men wore shirt ties and jackets. Class back then today less so.

    It's funny that back then people thought this was evil, but nowadays we see it as innocent. Compared to how they dance now, this sure looks innocent!

    Watching this for the first time ever in 2024, that song is quite catchy and I'm 63 this year. I could see it easily being a big hit today. It would definitely slow the pace of life down a notch.

    I went to Catholic school in when I was eight years old and in the third grade one of the nuns Taught how to do the stroll. Unbelievable! It was so much fun and it’s hard to believe that the Catholic Church let us do this but I guess it was part of learning social graces. I still remember my dance partner.
