How to Dance the Wilbury Twist

From the liner notes:

HOW TO DANCE THE WILBURY TWIST.

To dance the Wilbury Twist, you must have some idea of the basic steps and hand motions. Grace is the key to successful dancing. Fluid, co-ordinated movements are what make a dancer outstanding. Good dancers do not wiggle their hips, but move them naturally in rhythm with the steps and music.

Briefly, there are three things to remember:

1. Feet keep time. 2. Swaying-hips is a natural movement

that accentuates rhythm.

3. Hands and facial expressions interpret

the meaning of the dance.
