Check out the Detroit 1970's Ballroom Steps that are still alive, even in 2021. The Scene was one of the first shows to put the Detroit style of Ballroom Dancing on TV as shown in this early 1976 clip.
There were many dance shows prior to the start of The Scene. Most notably there was Soul Train, but Soul Train was not the first Black dance show, do your research. The hosts of The Scene Ray Henderson and Nat Morris were from the Raleigh, North Carolina area where there was a black show on WRAL Channel 5 that started in the late 50's called Teenage Frolics hosted by JD Lewis. JD Lewis was Ray's mentor and their gravesites are next to each other in the Oakwood Cemetery in Raleigh NC. Ray had actually been on the show and Nat had seen the show many times on TV. There were shows in Washington DC and Philadelphia PA, that even preceded Teenage Frolics. If you're interested in the history of this type of show read this essay: southernspaces.org/2015/danci....

Man..this just puts a smile in my heart and soul..such fond memories ♥️♥️. I was too young to actually do this step..but I would practice with my basement pole..I love classic scene dancers..Thanks Nat Morris for the memories.♥️♥️
I'm glad you like it and I was wondering how many people would pick up on the Detroit Ballroom steps from the 70's
This was Detroit’s soul train 🚂 for the neighborhood ⭐️
So many memories... 1976💜💜
I love the dance show... Just finding this in '23
My dad was one of the dancers on here, his name is Dwayne Daniel, goes by Shane. This made me smile seeing him so young and healthy ❤
Shane was one of our early STAR dancers and we remain friends to this day.
Every day we use to run home from school to watch the Scene "Throw Down...Throw Down☺"
I recognize one young man(in this video)that I went to high school with back then-this is memories for me-and Nat Morris seemed like the perfect gentleman back then and I'm glad he was the host of this show.
I also remember seeing the very first episode of The Scene when it first came on the air-along with TV 62 DETROIT-where President Gerald Ford had congratulated and acknowledged TV 62, for being THE FIRST BLACK OWNED TELEVISION STATION IN AMERICA, back in either September or October of 1975!
Just thought some of you would like to know that...from the good 'ol days of coming up in Detroit. 12-11-23.
They were ballrooming back then...
😊😊😊
Im gonna say this. We messed up somewhere. THIS is how it was supposed to go. It wasn't perfect, but it was good. It was simple. We had a better time when we had the simple things of life. Nobody in this video was trying to outdo the other. They was happy and content. GOD help us get back to peace🙏🏽🥃🤝🏾
I see y'all had y'all own step, Detroit. Nice!! Salute from Chicago.
Awww there is my mommy in the white blouse and pink pants dancing with the very tall man in the red shirt. Thank you for this, I always thought she was making this up🥰 BrunnerGirl
You are so welcome! How cool is that?
This was so special because I had cousins and friends on this show
As I watch this, it makes me want to cry I think of my youth growing up in Michigan ,Detroit, the motor city ,Motown,discotheques!🥲

And a year later The electrifying Mojo landed the Mothership and change the Detroit sound forever
Hello! Yes he did! 12-11-23.

I love it. I remember my parents doing the steps and never missing each other's hand or waist. Watching these clips some of the happiest memories come to mind. TY so much.. I can't say that enough Mr. Morris

I remember doing a commercial for Scotty's Party Store. It aired on The Sceen. Back in 1976. I'd love to find that commercial. I went to Chennel 62 over on Jefferson in Detroit to tape the add. Can any one help?
Nat was so fine 😍
The dance they are doing to sweet love. That couples stroll. What is the name of that??? It's beautiful
Detroit style Ballroom dancing
@NAT MORRIS it's incredible. Thanks Nat. The Scene gets all love and respect here in Cincinnati 🙏🏽🥃🤝🏾
The dance moves looks a lot like salsa dancing. Wich one was first?
Who's doing that cover version of " bad luck"
I believe it's just the instrumental version
It's The Atlanta Disco Band on Scorpio Records
