Options Class - DANCE!

Under the umbrella theme of High School Options, I chose "Dance". The choice was inspired in part by the request of another carpooler to make a Jukebox mix; the dance theme lends itself well to '50s/'60s pop tunes. The mix itself is heavily weighted in those two decades, but it also travels into the '70s and '80s near the end, mainly because there were Michael Jackson songs and video game crossovers that needed to be added to the mix.
*Trivia* This is the first carpool mix to include a band from Greenland (The Eskimos)
*Trivia* My favourite dance name? The "Uncle Willie" (track 20)

I was searching up dances pretty obsessively for a few weeks, so I decided to include some other dances on the comp's cover:

Someone could easily also do a mix featuring 30 variations on the Twist.
