Garmisch, Germany, December 6, 1965: At the Garmisch Recreation Area's International Grill and Discotheque, Nancy Wallace — attired in a fashion that easily locates the scene in the mid-1960s — eases her way under the limbo bar, half of which is being held by Christine Jarvis. In addition to the limbo, dances that could be seen at the club included the frug, the swim, the monkey and the bunny hop. According to a story about the facility, "The action swirls around a semi-circular, 60-seat bar with a raised bandstand in the center. When the band is away, the spotlight centers on the opposite end of the room where a disc jockey — usually a she — keeps them spinning into the wee hours."
