Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which dance craze is associated with Chubby Checker?"
The Twist, a dance done by swiveling the hips, became a worldwide dance craze after Chubby Checker danced the Twist while singing the song of the same name on the Dick Clark Show on August 6, 1960. The song quickly hit number one on the charts and the dance swept around the world. A world record was set in DeLand, Florida in 2012, when Chubby Checker sang the song live and the crowd danced. An estimated 4,000 people twisted along with Checker, surpassing the previous Guinness World Record for most people twisting at once.
