Created "The Twist," the dance craze of the '60s. The social changes among the sexes and the older generations brought forth by "The Twist" and its many offshoots--like "The Mashe Potatoes", "The Monkey",and "The Frug"--are immeasurable. Heretofore, males who had difficulty with the dance steps of "The Lindy" would often "sit one out" while their girlfriends danced together . Now they could buy records that they could dance to as well. These dances were also adopted by older generations in nightclubs worldwide, giving "R n R" a fan base, beyond the "teenage years".
