OMG THAT WAS GREAT!! Sorry for all caps but that was so progressive. I don't remember that and I was born in '55. I wonder if Lumpy was trying to do that at Party Spoilers. If you were born in mid 40's early 50's you must have had a great time going from ballroom dance to really dancing. That Nitty Gritty was fab.

Would we feel the same about LITB if they had shown a side of the boys like this?

The only time we see anyone let loose is Beaver twisting in his room and that was so cringeworthy!! I never saw Eddie swinging but he might have in Party Spoilers.

I can see Ward and June doing the Nitty Gritty like the couple upfront.
