Couple Profile

"Perpetual motion" is the only description of Candy Johnson`s amazing dancing. Candy was born in San Gabriel, California just outside of Los Angeles. She had lessons in tap dancing at age 5, then went to Afro-Cuban dancing and had four years of dramatics before graduating from San Gabriel High School. It wasn`t until she found the twist, soon after her graduation, that people began to notice her. It all began when she went to a big Twist show featuring Chubby Checker and other stars at the famed Hollywood Paladium. When she went to buy tickets for the show, she accidently caught the eye of a young agent named Red Gilson who liked her looks and asked her if she could dance inasmuch as he was looking for a girl like her to perform with a musical group he was setting up. Candy said she was a dancer, soon talked over the proposition with her parents, won their permission, and quit her job as a long distance operator with the phone company. That was the beginning of her career and before long her amazing twist dancing won her star billing with the musical group known as "The Exciters."
