Dance History: Choreographed for a dancing competition that took place in Manchester around October 1968.
The dance performed at the ‘Pop Inn’ by the choreographers was placed second in the final, but didn’t not have a title - now it has be it '30 Something' years later (2000).
Danced locally in Disco/clubs for maybe 3-4 years (it even made its way to Australia – as was seen in the early 1990’s) it never achieved anywhere near the same exposure of what dances do today with global communication.
