Teen dance show returns to TV for one weekend only
Coming this weekend on WPHL 17: big hair, leg warmers and lots of denim.
Four solid hours of television have been set aside Saturday to celebrate Philadelphia’s ’80s teen culture. Episodes of Dancin’ on Air will play Saturday night — a rebroadcast of the show, which ran from 1981 until 1987.
From 8 to 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. to 1 a.m., you might see an old high school friend breaking out his best moves, or someone like talk show host Kelly Ripa — the South Jersey natives was a featured dancer.
