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.
