Twist around the clock

Combining rare and often hilarious archival footage with interviews,
Twist chronicles the evolution of
rock and roll dance.




From the time when moving hips marked you as a social degenerate, to a time when shaking your "thing" became the
dance-form that rocked the world
.


Shake it!
