Why dont we dance like this anymore?

Why don't dance like that????


Cause I don't want to ruin my coke induced high "Steppin' Flecther" for whitey...:hmm:



Get the fuck out of here Sambo....:hmm:



*two cents*
 
I remember seeing this movie when I was a kid. People today would either be on life support or in traction if they tried that shit today. One reason everyone is too damn heavy to move like that but its not just the dancing. When was the last time you saw an actual band or seen an advertisement for a dance? We have gotten away from what used to be fun. The question is legit. :yes:
 
Take a look at the calendar. Time has moved on

If you are yearning for the moves of yesteryear why not start something yourself???
 
Swing Dancing, naw thet's ok, besides where are you going to find a sister who weighs less than 120 pounds to pull off some of those moves.
 
Because that's the kind of dancing professionally trained dancers do ... not regular people out for a good time ??

Tiger look like a straight predator in your sig.



I agree with the above though. We all fat. Men and women.

Back in my day...:dance:




On my latin side, you HAVE TO know how to dance Bachata and Merengue at the very least merengue. Salsa is a bit more difficult. But it's guaranteed pussy if you can move on the dance floor. When I have my son(s), he will know how to dance and be outgoing, not some wall flower holding up speakers. :smh:

some examples of bachata:

Thats interesting you think I'm a sambo or anyone who expresses themselves the way the brothers and sistas did in this clip. But what you fail to understand is that our people were dancing like this before whites of that day exploited the art form.

You're angst at the notion of embarrassing one's self by dancing freely and expressively is akin to our ancestor's fear of acting improperly in the presence of white folk ironically.

Furthermore it doesnt display black pride, instead it sheds light on a larger problem, the fear of being black...of being blatantly black

My two cents

Forgot to mention this video with the Nicholas brothers scene in Stormy Weather was posted on BGOL before. It was viewed as cooning by some of the brainless on BGOL. It also shows who is really closed minded today. :hmm:

There's always talk about how closed minded the older generation is but to label an art form as cooning that few if any today can master is part of the problem with dance today and within today's music. Its today's youth who are so restricted in their thought patterns.

So little appreciation today exist for those who made today possible. The masses that today manage a glimmer of success don't see it. Sadly videos showcasing talent like this will remain in our past unless Spike Lee wants to take another shot at a musical. Thank God for YouTube. :D
 



LOVE the dancing sista in this one. Beautiful, graceful and so alive (in her performance):
