What rock music from the 50s 60s and 70s can you actually dance to? Why is most classic rock undanceable?

I still occassionally dance some rock and a gogo music from those years.
Not rock but till some years ago we used to frequently slow dance with whom was my partner, specially the San Remo festival "hits" of those years.
About the 2nd question my conjecture is that there are two main related factors about.
One of them is that undanceable rock as genre was / is more music listening focused and so perhaps more elaborated / quality oriented, so became classics.
To be / become a classic also deppends on it´s persistency along time for the next generations.
And not a few dancing styles (and their related music) had shorter lifes while music itself may remain for longer.
