EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to the vibrant atmosphere of a twisting dance competition held on the 11th of February, 1962. The image showcases a group of young people enthusiastically participating in this exhilarating contest, their bodies gracefully contorting and swaying to the infectious beats of twist music. The fashion choices depicted here perfectly encapsulate the iconic style trends that defined the swinging sixties. From mini skirts and mod dresses to sharply tailored suits for gentlemen, every participant effortlessly exudes an air of youthful rebellion and self-expression through their clothing. As we gaze upon this frozen moment in time, it becomes evident that more than just a mere dance competition was taking place.

With each twist and turn captured by Staff's lens, we witness not only individual talent but also collective joy radiating from these young dancers. Their energy is palpable as they immerse themselves in this rhythmic frenzy – an escape from everyday life into a world where music unites souls and movement transcends boundaries.
