Dancing days are here again.In the mid-1960s, dancing and rock 'n' roll went hand in hand. Hits like "Louie Louie" and "Jailhouse Rock" transcended music genres.
Then in the late-1960s, dance music and rock seemed to go separate ways.
As rock music matured, artists began to explore and incorporate different styles of music into traditional rock 'n' roll, said Mark Sanford, music director for KOAI-FM, "The Oasis."
"Dance music went to Motown," Sanford said. "Rock went to blues and Southern country."
