What fond memories do you have of teenarama?:
Being apart of the Teenarama Dance Party, Wook-TV, I enjoyed co-hosting the show for Bob King. As a Regular, I Rated the Records, the Miles Long Sandwich Commercial, meeting and chatting with several entertaining celebrities, getting acquainted with other dancers, and being televised six days a week from the show. I also felt like a celebrity star of the show. My sister, Carolyn and I couldn't wait to leave school, took two buses, and walked across a big field near Takoma Park, Riggs Road, and Chillum area to get the show before and after becoming Regulars on the show. My family and friends couldn't wait for the show to come on and later on, they would informed me what I was wearing. I was nicknamed, Christie/Christy Love, Ms. Boogaloo and/or Christine, the Dancing Machine. I just wished there were still footages of the show from back then. We had to climb a hill near the back door of the show, formed a line to get into the show after the Regulars. But in all, I enjoyed every minute of it. Since then, I've won several dancing, modeling, singing, and talent contests.
From Christine:
The Teenarama Dance Party, Wook-TV reminded me of Soul Train back in the day.

What fond memories do you have of teenarama?:
What a pleasure it was to dance on The Teenarama Dance Party, it is an experience that lives on within my heart. I could hardly wait to get out of school and dash up to WOOKTV. What inspired me to dance on the Show was the creativeness of the dances performed by the teens and the unity of all students from across the District/Metropolitan area coming together on one accord. All we wanted to do was dance and have fun. We were up close to the performing artist and met a few of them personally. WOW!

As Vice President, I want to pass on this legacy to our youth to educate them through the history of music and dance of the 1960s shared through our experiences. We were Teens in the 1960s; in the year of 2000 plus we consider ourselves as Senior Teens.

From Donna :
The Teenarama Dance Party provided an outlet in 1964 for me to meet and dance with other students in the Washington-metropolitan area. It helped shape my goals to know that there were so many  opportunities available to me that I never envisioned.  So, it is a pleasure to serve as Executive Secretary of Teenarama, Inc. that  has as its primary purpose to assist in providing financial scholarships to youth to achieve their dreams and aspirations.
