“The Stroll” may be a familiar name to anyone who lived during the late 1950s.
American Bandstand was the birthplace of this iconic dance number, which shot to fame. The beauty of it was in its accessibility; anyone could participate.
The dance called for the males and girls to form an aisle separated by a line.
Each pair would take turns walking down the line, with the leading lad and girl meeting in the center. Everyone was enthralled by the ensuing synchronized routine.
A Reflection on the Past
