Dance 111 - Ring Shout

[@Nettamorphosis]

Thank you. The beautiful article “New Orleans Music as a Circulatory System” brought me here.

[@Angelkeyz_aka]

Omg those last few seconds of the video were where James Brown got his moves, which became Michael Jackson’s moves which became America’s signature dances of pop, locking!

My grandmother and before her were Ghullah Geechee and I was taught this dance and do it to this day

[@Flyincowrecords]

Praise House book Gullah Spirituals brought me here. Great that you have this memory and you can share it as well.

[@FaatitheArtist]

Originated in Africa and brought here by our ancestors ❤

This reminds me of dancing on the front porch. Mama would have all the children in the neighborhood together and we would dance to all kinds of music on the radio or while we tried to sing.

These dances need to be revived. Same style, maybe add a little modern to it. But I must say, Jookin is a great example of modern African-American dance

Starts with us, ends with everyone.

[@SiriusMined]

Beautiful stuff. Will I find interesting is when I see the people that are dancing by themselves, it makes me think that in some way they are the inspiration for the Cwalk and B-walk.

Greetings from Conifer, Colorado! Very Cool Content! Good for my/ your soul

[@Sankofa906]

let's not forget that this dance wasn't just 100% invented by slaves In the U.S, they brought different parts of it from different tribes of west and central Africa.

[@bonitahobbs2374]

Surely.

[@BlackAmericanproudly]

Yeah however they put those parts together and made this dance. So yes this dance is theirs

[@colorofspurge]

The dance looks more American Indian to me.

[@BlackAmericanproudly]

Here you pretendians come

[@Sankofa906]

@@BlackAmericanproudly yes, two things can be true at the same time. Culture/art is built on by what came before you, what influenced you. "theirs" sounds like European possessive thinking. it's a legacy, know your history and show respect to all your ancestors.

[@edsuckling8020]

Wow, thanks for posting this, amazing! I’d love to hear some of the African music that the first bit might have been influenced by. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks.

where is the second to last clip from?

[@bboross]

The entire clip is from a video documentary titled "Free To Dance." Perhaps you can find it online or in your library.
