***snort*** oh my friend @MickD my lack of dancing skills have spanned the ages.  Even as a small and very lightweight child you could always hear me coming as I am just very heavy on my feet.  At a Christmas party a friend was trying to teach me how to do the Mashed Potato (yes this was decades ago) and it just wasn't happening (we even tried it at work in case a little bit too much Christmas cheer was involved but sadly no, a dancer I am not).

@momtochloe in our own minds we are great dancers.....yes we are!.....until the public sees us...

The spin-off from American Bandstand was Where the Action Is although that didn't last very long.

We watched Soul Train and American Bandstand, too.

Growing up in suburban Philadelphia in the 1950s and 60s, my friends and I could not wait to be old enough to go to AB.  Unfortunately it moved to California and was never the same.

I loved their Pony dance contest.  I still remember my favorite couple, Mike & Frani.

Carmen! I just remembered that name. Anyone else remember Carmen?

And googling shows a whole lot more.

Carmen and her sister Yvette had their "bleached" birthmarks in front side of their hair.

some of the dancers actually made an album

remember the song Hey Paul-Paula something to that effect. it was actual dancers. they were going steady and always made it to the dance floor, spot light on them. well i guess, some record producer got the 2 of them to record a song-album. it was the guy would sing, hey paula, blahblahblah and so for,then the girl would sing hey paul, blahblahblah and so forth. i can hear the song going thru my head now and i can see that couple still dancing.
