Rumors say that Elvis’s dance moves were overexaggerated due to his nerves.
Elvis was so nervous during his first performances in the 1950s that his legs would often shake.
After seeing the wild reaction the audience (especially the women) had to these weird moves, he decided to keep them and put them in future shows.
Elvis’s first big performance was on “The Milton Berle Show” in June 1956. He sang “Hound Dog,” to the audience made up of screaming girls and the performance was labeled as vulgar and insulting by critics.
Conservative groups were wary of Elvis Presley as they believed that Rock n’ Roll could lead to high rates of juvenile delinquency.
There was even a piece published by the church called “Beware Elvis Presley.”
