I remember this too! I was in 3rd grade in 79-80, but I remember doing the tango before then in kindergarten. I think it was Addams Family that we based our dance on because someone always wanted to swish a leg. We would pick a flower or twig off one of the bushes and hold it between our teeth.

We also acted out Happy Days where all the girls competed to either be Pinky Tuscadero or the Fonz. No Richie Cunninghams need apply 😆

OMG yep yep yep, this was a thing where I grew up in Rochester NY too. Thanks for digging into that odd phenomenon!
