Where To Watch
Can you place these dance party TV shows into the correct decade?
Boogie, groove and bust a move through television history.
From the Twist to the Worm to the Nae Nae, even if you can't dance, it's fun to watch. At least, that's what the sheer number of dance TV shows over the decades would suggest.
It also helps that dance party shows are pretty cheap to produce. All you need is an empty studio, dramatic lighting, some music and a bunch of teenagers.
Getting down to the hits of the day has been part of television since its early days. We gathered some of our favorite dance party shows throughout history. See if you can put them into the correct decade.

This should have been a cinch -just look at the clothes and hairstyles.
10/14.One of the ones I got wrong was #12.I picked the 70's and it was the 90's...Hey I was only 20 years off!😋The hair styles of the 70's and 90's were a lot closer then the 80's.There was no mistaking the big hair of the 80's.It was a banner decade for hair spray companys.
I was 6/14.

Got my 80's & 90's mixed up, since I had stopped watching dance shows by then.
You got 11 out of 14
