Consuela Harris

Haters in the back smh she’s beautiful

[@jadon360]

This Clip is close to 80 years old, and all these kids today think that they just invited these twerking dances. Everthing your doing has already been done. History repeats itself. Twerking started in Africa years ago, but it was done with a lot more class then its being done with today.

That woman isn't twerking though..🤔

Yass Mama Go IN! Consuela Harris circa1938. And people talk about kids these days....

[@kayteeelle]

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I love how vibrant yet nonchalant her moves were and also the shady women behind her.

[@agent9973]

lol

[@videocat1366]

Oh, yes. The shade. And did you notice at the very end one of the women on the right slipped and started to clap for her then suddenly stopped when she realized no one else was clapping at 1:28? LOL.

[@sarahl9398]

She moves so beautifully and femininely. There is a lightness to her dancing. Love the 1930s "twerking" as well :)

[@caramelspice7244]

Who is "twerking?" Are you hallucinating?

[@shondahamilton752]

This woman 👩🏾 is a dance 💃🏽 extraordinaire. I love ❤️ her unique style. The hair and head back is so sexy while in motion. ✨Dancing 💃🏽 is therapeutic. Get up America and dance 💃🏽 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽✨.

Some ppl think this was Sammy Davis Jr's mother and other's say it's this lady.Who is this?

[@indy5624]

Dancer, Consuela Harris‬ just because. Harris was considered one of the best of the shake, hot, swinging dancers in the 1930s. She was a New York headliner and the darling of the nightclub patrons and crowds in the East and West who raved over her charm and artistry. She performed at the famous Sebastian’s Cotton Club in California and other New York highlights. She was one of the rare dancers who told a story with her dancing. Flexible and graceful she was. Consuela appeared showing off her dancing talents in two Oscar Micheaux films, “Swing” from 1938 and “God’s Stepchildren” also from 1938. She was also in the movie, “Harlem on the Prairie” with Herb Jeffries.

Can you explain? How she has the name harris and not a Spanish name ?

[@TheMorganVEVO]

I wish people would stop calling every dance that incorporates your hips and backside “twerking”. Twerking started in strip clubs. African traditional dances look completely different. It’s not twerking. 🙄

[@bobbyschannel349]

it's not African or twerking, and actually twerking has Caribbean roots, not strip clubs

[@Jtve737]

​@bobbyschannel349 no twerking is definitely A FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICAN culture that Caribbeans adopted. Nice try though

😀😃😄😄All black people are Africans, we don’t come from anywhere else, our ancestors are all from Africa, don’t matter where the evil Europeans took us to , our ancestors are Africans so we are Africans, we can’t change our DNA and l truly don’t want to any other groups of people.🇯🇲🇬🇭🇳🇬❤️❤️love my people and ❤️myself God be praised.

[@Jtve737]

NOPE sorry nice try but having melanin doesn't equate to Africa. Modern Africans especially West Africans didn't evolve until the 1800s. All people have a shared common dna but as far as variations. FBA people are indigenous to America. Africans have no solid record or proof of twerking. This is purely FBA.

ever lied, stolen, committed adultery(Jesus said if you even look with lust it's adultery) Will you be guilty on Judgment Day? Be honest. You know you will be guilty and end up in Hell. But God is not willing That Any perish. God loves us so much He sent Jesus Christ to suffer and die on the Cross and He rose from the dead. Today, Repent(Confess and Forsake your Sins) and trust in JESUS Christ then read the Bible and Obey it.
