Title: Dancing - pt. 1 (no ballet or square dancing)
Description: Image consists of young couple dancing energetically in front of a small group of teens dancing. Print has been marked and painted for reproduction in the Toronto Telegram newspaper. Caption on reverse reads: "No, this group hasn't suddenly developed a violent itch...they're doing the latest dance craze, the Twist. The youngsters slink, slide and shake along the dance floor as they compete in an Amateur Twist Contest. Winners were Fay Bell, 16, and her brother, Earl, 17, in foreground. Experts say the dance should look as though you're wiping your body with a towel and putting out a cigarette with your foot at the same time."
