From Wikipedia:
Don't Knock the Twist is a 1962 dance film starring Lang Jeffries. It is the sequel to the 1961 film Twist Around the Clock. Many twist dancers' meet in preparation for the TV variety show called "The Twist." While the special is still in the production stages, jealousies lead to problems - and a whole lot of dancing.

Here's a few clips from the movie...note the nice opening shot of the lower Manhattan skyline in the first one.
