52 year old grown man here, I tear up watching this knowing how much innocence has been lost in this country,
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.
Amazed how everyone is dressed in this era... so much class in this era.
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.
There will never be another era like this one sad but true....
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!
Philly- 1957-wild days- long hair, black jacket, engineer boots, carried a knife - next year enlisted in the USMC-stayed 22 years.
I was 10 yrs old in 1957 used to run home to watch Bandstand everyday
Look at those kids...fun...happy...clean...Lord, I miss those days!
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 miss what America was back then! The good old days! Good music and good times!
THIS WAS WHEN LIFE WAS SO GOOD. AND SUCH GREAT MEMORIES TO REMEMBER THROUGHT LIFE.SUPER GREAT DANCING THEN.
1 of the Best Tunes Ever....I was 8 and haven't changed my mind yet....
Can I just go back to this time....so much fun!!! Love the Stroll...🤗
I was born in 1945 oh how I remember so many good times of this era thank you God
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.
I STILL THINK THIS IS THE DANCE THAT MAKES EVERYONE THE HAPPPIEST! WAY TOO MUCH PURE FUN!
