Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
It’s been more than 50 years since Chubby Checker took Hank Ballard’s “Twist” to the top of the charts, and started the pop culture dance craze of the same name. Checker will encourage you to twist the night away with him and the Wildcats when he comes to The Venue in Hammond, Ind. Although “Twist” is his most recognizable hit, the singer has a number of other novelty dance songs including “The Pony,” “The Fly” and “The Hucklebuck.” 7:30 p.m. Friday at The Venue, Horseshoe Casino, 777 Casino Center Drive, Hammond, Ind.; $22 (21+); 800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com
