bring her back her and show her this video with the caption 'dancing troll,' she would probably be mortified.

She'd probably be 70 now. "See, kids? Grandma used to be cool!"

I would be proud if it were me ...
Starting with the twist, the 1960s was a decade for new dances. One of these, the boogaloo, was a Latin-American dance that first became popular in New York, where its principal exponent was the Joe Cuba Sextet. The group had a million-seller in the US with the highly infectious "Bang Bang" (1966).
"You don't go into a rehearsal and say, 'Let's invent a new sound or dance,'" Joe Cuba would later say, "They happen."
Joe Cuba's parents came from Puerto Rico to New York in the late 1920s and settled in East Harlem, also known as Spanish Harlem. He was born Gilberto Miguel Calderon in 1931 and his father owned a sweet shop on the ground floor of the apartment building in which they lived. His father organised a street version of baseball but after the young Gilberto broke a leg, he had nothing more to do with it. He played the congas and after graduating from high school, he joined a band.
