Charleston away those unsightly pounds with “20 Aerobic Dance Hits”

Posted on October 31, 2007 by

Charleston instructions

20 Aerobic Dance Hits album cover

This gem of an graphic is from an early 1980s album entitled "20 Aerobic Dance Hits" put out by Parade Records. I found this two LP record set while perusing a thrift shop in the Adirondacks a couple of weeks ago and simply had to have it.  The set contains a 20 page aerobic instruction manual, where you can learn such dances as "The Cha Cha," "The Country Jig," and "The Twist." Lord knows, I could use the help with my Country Jig. 

The records apparently include vocal instruction, along with a range of hits from the 1980s including "Copacabana," and "Elvira."  I’m just dying to get this burned to CD, if anyone knows of an audio conversion service in New York City.
