You Should Watch 'The New Dance Show' and Learn How to Dance

The New Dance Show was a television show in Detroit which ran in the late-1980s to mid-1990s on WGPR-TV 62 (now a CBS affiliate known as WWJ-TV). Hosted by R.J. Watkins, The New Dance Show was a low-budget local version of Soul Train and featured regular dancers including a man who dressed like a vampire and wore a cape and a woman who dressed as a boxer. - Wikipedia

Seriously, I watched this show obsessively when I was growing up in suburban Detroit. WGPR-62 was a typical low-wattage UHF station back in those days, so they didn't have much programming - maybe reruns of Rockford Files or Ironside were on sometimes, but it seemed like New Dance Show was on most of the time you turned it on. I was 8 years old when I first saw it, and my sister and I spend hours slack-jawed in front of the TV, trying to take in all the dance moves.
