Here's Part 1 of your holiday cheese platter for this year - The 1st Annual Dance Fever Christmas Special. Hosted by Deney Terrio (with his dance group "Motion"), and featuring guest celebrity judges Robert Blake and his 14 year old daughter Delinah (now known as Delinah Blake Hurwitz), Chad Everett and his 9 year old daughter Shannon, and Connie Stevens and her 11 year old daughter Tricia Leigh (now known as Tricia Leigh Fisher).

Alison Arngrim, who played "nasty" Nellie Oleson on Little House on the Prairie also is featured as the "Guest DJ" who introduces the songs and performers.

In Part 1 the recording starts late, missing a bit at the beginning, followed by a sponsorship notice for Pepsi, and then an introduction dance with Deney and Motion dancing along with the guest judges.

(commercial break cut-out unfortunately)
