Richard Powers teaches the Ultimate Madison Class, partnered by Tracey Powers.

7:15pm - The Original Madison. This is where today's line dancing began! The Madison came from the Midwest, in the late 1950s, then became popular when it hit Baltimore's Buddy Deane Show of teens' dancing, and it spread further in 1960. Tonight, we'll do the version that Lindy hoppers like to do today, but we'll do all ten figures, including the two that were edited out of John Waters' Hairspray. Don't worry—the figures are called out in the recording. Since there are ten variations, try extra hard to be on time for the first ones at 7:15!

8:15pm - The Partnered Madison and the first French Madison. Richard recently discovered a rare film of a partnered version of the Madison (yes, for couples in a line!), done on Brian Henderson's Bandstand show in 1960, just one week after the famous "Madison Time" record was released. No one else seems to have discovered this yet, so tonight is the world premiereteaching of it (the first time since 1960, that is). Then moving on to the very first four-wall line dances, we'll also have time to learn the très chic Madison in Jean-Luc Godard's 1964 film Bande à Part.

9:00 pm to 11:45 - Dance Party! Two-thirds of the music, 30 out of 45 tunes, are FNW firsts for Richard, selected and edited for danceability. Check out this version of Norwegian Pirate! Here is the playlist:
