"Rich Looks For Peaches"


Although this AWKWARD slow-dance clip isn't identified, I recognized it immediately as being from Dancin' On Air - an 80's teen dance show which was based in Philadelphia. The show was HUGE in  Central Pennsylvania (where I grew up) - and the regular dancers became mini-stars, with their own fanclubs and fanzines...


OMG - Bobby Catalano!!!! Take off your glasses - we wanna see your eyes!!!!! Sorry ... old habits...

Anywhore, Dancin' On Air was picked up by the fledgling USA network in 1986 and renamed Dance Party USA - but at that point I was in college and too drunk busy to care anymore.

BTW - did the girl in the cheerleader outfit at 0:16 look familiar?? That's Jersey girl and Intense Staring Champion Kelly Ripa - one of Dancin's "regulars".
