01. The Twist
The Bop, The Hop, and The Watusi were all famous dance crazes that American Bandstand helped popularize. Arguably, the biggest dance craze that the show jumpstarted was The Twist, set to the Chubby Checker song of the same name. In 1962, the then unknown Checker performed “The Twist” on the show, bringing a new dance craze to living rooms across America. The popularity of The Twist is a testament of how Dick Clark and American Bandstand helped turn songs into cultural sensations.
