16 THE OSHAWA TIMES; Tussdey, Apri 13, 1965 IN NEW ONE, YOU'LL HOLD HANDS AGAIN If Feet Travel, It's Hully Gully-- If They Dont, It's The Frug NEW YORK (NAPS) ~ Re L . The new Priest of the wigglers and wo blers of the "discotheques" is @ pint-size, rubber-boned, whirl- ing dervish named Killer Joe Piro, He's the jet-set's favorite dancing teacher, and he has taught almost a million Amer- feans to do the Frug, the Watu- si, the Chickenback and the Monkey. Killer Joe's pupils include Ray Bolger, Marlon Brando, Adlai Stevenson, Sybil Button, the Maharani of Baroda and the Duchess of Windsor. He's been to Washington to dance the Watusi the Number One Teenager of em all, Luci Baines Johnson. According to Joe, all of the new dances fall into two cate- gories: "One where the feet travel, as in the Hully Gully and the Watusi; and the other | where the feet stay still, as in the Frug. All of the other dances are variations of these and are mostly charades acted as you do the Frug or the Watusi," In all of the new dances, the hips are the important "It's a little like the shimmy, says Joe. "You your knees, shake your bottom, and wriggle up and down." The Watusi and the Hully Gully -- where the feet move-- ate something like square dances, done in groups, with a Esther her ear; or Popeye, with one hand on a hip and one over the eyes, looking out to sea.
