This was our favorite dance show back in the 60’s. It has been impossible to find people who remember how to dance “The Swing” or the 1270! Any one out there remember besides me? Thanks!
I would drive my cousin Pam and myself to dance on the show every Saturday. We took a “be Seeing You†cake for Joel Sebastion on his las day at the show. I have a pic of that memory! 1964 was an especially fabulous time for Pam Shoun and Cathy Lordy ! And we are still alive to share 1-08-21!

My Mom was on the show when she was a teenager! She taught me all the dances. She still talks about the show to this day!
I danced on Club 1270 for one summer.
We need some of that great old Detroit dancing to comeback! That was the best dance show, ever. Lee Alan and Joel Sebastian were our heroes!!!!
Brings back many, many memories.
Great times
Couldn’t wait til the dance show came on every Saturday, I would dance with my Mom!
