Dee Dee Sharp's dance, Mashed Potato and song, "Mashed Potato Time", was popular in 1962 and patterned after Chubby Checker's the Twist. Both men were from the Philadelphia area but were actively touring at the time. A variation of the Mashed Potato was the Monster Mash.
In 1965, the latest dance style was heavily influenced by the popularity of the Twist, which had taken the music scene by storm in the early 1960s. The dance involved simple twisting motions of the hips and became a social phenomenon, often performed to rock and roll music. Other emerging styles included the Mashed Potato and the Watusi, which featured energetic movements and were popularized by artists and television shows of the time. These dances reflected the youthful spirit and cultural shifts of the 1960s.
