Twist

Combining rare archival footage with interviews, this documentary chronicles the evolution of the titular postwar rock ’n' roll dance craze that took America by storm. 

Featuring singers and musicians who helped define the phenomenon like Hank Ballard, Chubby Checker, and Joey Dee, as well as clips from TV shows like American Bandstand, Twist tells the story of how shaking your hips went from being a sign of social degeneracy to a dance form that rocked the world.
