Which artist is noted as being responsible for the dance craze "The Twist" in the early 1960s?

I remember doing the twist when it first started. My boyfriend was shocked and thought it was a little too obscene! That's funny when you compare it to the dances that came later.

I've always wondered what Chubby's first name was? I bet it wasn't as cool as Chubby...

I love ❤️ music that Gets ur Toes to Tapping and ur Heart to Thumping!! I find it Awesome to dance, work, or workout to!! It keeps ur Mind and Body busy!! I ❤️ the good old days of Rock and Roll when it was young!!

Dirty Dancing is what I consider very risqué.

Castra, I didn't know that!! Thanks 4 the info!! ;)

i dont like chubby checker

Chuck Berry too had some crazy moves.

Snance, You're right, it wasn't as cool as Chubby. His real name was Ernest Evans.🤣🤔

Tina M., There is almost no real "dance" anymore; the majority looks like a strip tease/stripper & stripper routines. Fine for the adults, but to see children emulating the same thing is sickening. What is worse than that is the parents who do not see it as the same thing. SMH

Fredrico, I've read many of your remarks and could tell you're from somewhere in the UK. Cardiff? That's on my bucket list!
