Just in case you know some folks who have never twisted, you might just want to introduce them to some old Chubby Checker tunes and send along this card. In fact, why not have a twisting party and use these cards to invite your friends?
Along with a great drawing and some illustrations of foot movements, there are detailed instructions:
Start with the left foot in front of the right foot. When first dancing the twist, keep the weight evenly distrib- uted over both feet. As you start twisting the hips, do not step with the feet. Leave them apart as described. Twist your hips to the right, making a semicircular movement. Twist your hips to the left, making a semicircular movement. Repeat step 1. Repeat step 2. As you do the basic twist movement, you will automatically feel a slight flexing of first one knee, then the other knee as you make the semicircular movement.
