  • Josephine performed several times at the Olympia.

    In 1956, 1959, 1964, and 1968.

    I've got the 1968 show and this part is not in it.

    Beside that, she looks younger in this fragment so i think it is the '59 or '64 show.

  • Yes, she was ahead of her time....;)

    By the way, i learned that this dance was inspired by a song released in 1959, Teardrops on your letter. Chubby Checker released his famous song in 1960.
