I’ve LOVED this clip for years. Thanks for showing the dance. Apparently the guy who’s REALLY getting into it was also the choreographer and choreographed quite a few things at the time.
Rest in Peace, Bobby Banas, who passed away today at age 90. (September 22, 1933-July 29, 2024) Bobby was the famous dancer in the dance he choreographed for the Shirley Ellis song “The Nitty Gritty” on The Judy Garland Show in 1964.
I absolutely love this dance. No one can do it like Bobby. He's just so loose and has that something extra that makes it so you can't take your eyes off of him.
Impressive dancing there! Consider making it a longer version. I love that song and the original dance group in the background featuring Bobby Banas is one groovy dance!
