| has gloss | eng: The Twist was a dance inspired by rock and roll music. It became the first worldwide dance craze in the early 1960s, enjoying immense popularity among young people and drawing fire from critics who felt it was too provocative. It inspired dances such as the Jerk, the Pony, the Watusi, the Mashed Potato, the Monkey and the Funky Chicken, although none were as popular. The dance was inspired by “The Twist,” B-side of Hank Ballard’s single “Teardrops on your letter” in 1959. |

| has gloss | ces: Twist (anglicky ,,kroutit se") je tanec, který vznikl ve Spojených státech amerických v 60. letech 20. století. Je provozován sólově, partneři se při něm nedrží a většinou stojí proti sobě. Nemá žádná přesně daná pravidla, ale obvykle se skládá z rychlých kroutivých pohybů pánve a rukou ze strany na stranu; nohy jsou rozkročeny a téměř se nepohybují, dochází jen k přenášení váhy z nohy na nohu, sestup do dřepu, následné vyskočení se zatleskáním apod. Twist se často tančí na rocknrollové skladby. |
