Whoever choreographed this was robbed of an Oscar.
Debbie Allen
Correction Otis Salid.
Tisha Campbell deserves her props. She’s been at it since she was a child. OAN, Spike Lee did his thing!
2024 ,and we still haven't figured it out!!!Our ancestors would shed tears if they seen this movie!!!especially this scene..TIsha Campbell mother is Caucasian.father so called Blacc Man.LIght,Dark,and Caramel people we all have wool hair,so cutt it out!!
@@BrownsvilleBaby_Est Tisha Campbell is not Biracial 😂
I hope Spike Lee knows that there is no better cinematic moment that represents talent, colorism, song, dance, message, movement, style, grace, joy, pain, and so much more on film for the Black community than what he created here. We all took it for enjoyment at first look but the talent and skill in writing, composing, crafting, and executing such a musical/cinematic number as this is just astounding!
Truth!
i agree!
Right
Well said!!
I can't think of a similar dramatic song and dance number that even comes close -- move over West Side Story!
This really needed its own stand alone Broadway play.
Right?
I've said this for years!! People have asked Spike to take it to Broadway but he won't
Glad someone said it
I agree!
I agree. He should rewrite it for a musical. The music is already done. Good point.
Spike Lee made this in the 80's yet all these dumb rappers denying colorism in the black community 🙄
@Hazel E That’s the trick. They DENY it while CONTRIBUTING to it. 👉🏾. It’s when people say racism is gone, a thing of the past WHILE simultaneously funding radical racists and the systems they set up against us.
@@lillola9307 exactly. Same thing with racism.
NAH FR
Rappers never denied that, What people are claiming as colorism today is more like the tribalism in Africa and Latin America. THIS is different.
No one is denying it
U know what stood out to me...??? Look at their bodies! All natural.
Hell yeah.
...and Bangin!!!:)>
❤️❤️❤️❤️
@Hazel E 😭😭😭😭
What does this comment even mean? These are professional dancers in a big movie production and you’re comparing them to regular woman of today who get surgery to look a certain way? How do they compare? Even professional dancers of today don’t get body enhancement surgeries, mostly regular girls so what are you doing? 😂
This dance sequence never gets old! Spike Lee is a genius! The dancers are iconic…Jasmine Guy, Tisha Campbell, Joie Lee, etc. My 6 year old granddaughter loves this💕💕💕!
Don’t forget the hair salon owner from Poetic Justice
The youngsters ain't getting it they're to focused on the obvious
Jasmine was so in her element with the dancing!
Is Nicole Ari Parker one of the dancers too or am I trippin..?
@@alexpress5375she was acting for a minute so I wouldn’t be shocked.
I heard Spike first pitched the female lead role to Vanessa Williams. Its hard to imagine School Daze without Tisha Campbell....she was on pointe.
Both Tisha and Vanessa had theatre experience at the time and could be triple threats (same as some of the other girls in the film). Tisha did wonderful, and Vanessa would have too. There was more than enough talent back in the day.
Honestly I think Tisha was the better choice. She had that round the way girl sex appeal and a sassy personality. Vanessa was more polished and groomed for beauty pageants. They picked the right lady for this role.
@@hyperiondragon Fscts
@@LoveFireWellness Yes...Indeed!!
He didn't pitch it to her she was cast as well as phyllis yvonne stickney but they both "left" due to creative difference.
This was released in 1988 and the same problems in the black community still exists in 2021. We still didn’t wake up.
Yes -- the problems of trying to find something to do, and wanting to be better than me
Wake up to what?
Petra Campbell If u watched the whole movie then u should know.
A big problem
It really does. I’m light skin and I always had other black people tell me I’m not black because my hair is too nice to be black
I’m a professional dancer and the choreography in this is absolutely AMAZING!
Indeed it is !!! Keep Dancing !!!
I AGREE 💯
My Dear... U have just witness the excellence of black dance on screen. Part of my generation. I was a Dancer as well performed at the Old World Trade Center and at the UN. I truly hope you have viewed the WIZ from 1980. The Emerald City Scene will not disappoint you as well as the Brand New Day. Stay safe and keep Dancing.
Is it debbie allen choreo?
💯💯💯💯💯
I don't know if people realize how artistically fabulous this piece is.
My big girl with the J is the real mvp! Get it girl
I'M STILL MESMERIZED WHEN I WATCH IT!
Dana Carter: I thought the same. It's time to put this on BROADWAY.
@@karenseard5574 I thought it did go to broadway years ago😳🤔
.
I just noticed that the light skin side had a dark skin girl with long hair. I guess they found her acceptable because of her hair. The girls in this seemed like they had a lot of fun filming this scene and they all looked beautiful!
And how there was one lightskin girl with the darkskins side. Her hair was short, so maybe the lightskin girls didn’t accept her.
Yeah it was focusing on their texture how some girls have the texture of being "nappy" but it was like a natural look and how the somewhat lighter group had the trend popular wavy 80s look that alot of famous white celebrities had. But honestly they all are beautiful and better dancers than girls today.
Yeah I noticed that too. Today most dark girl have really long hair
@@theashologist she has was considered good hair.
"Talkin bout good or bad hair whether you're DARK OR YOU'RE FAIR".. So in this scenario, skin color didn't matter. You could have good hair if your dark or bad hair if you're fair skinned...
Shout out to Ms. Jasmine Guy though.... She executed those moves perfectly
That Alvin Ailey training will always be in her...
@@roots4140 Yes indeed!
From what She said in several interviews...She was performing in Broadway musicals after touring with the Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre when she did this movie and the casting director from A Different World saw this movie which lead to her auditioning for the role that would become Whitley Gilbert!
Man. Over 30 years later and I STILL get chills listening to the amazing band on top of watching this song and dance! Bless you, Spike.
G😊Y
M
The words are very offensive though. This song couldn’t be singed in the shower.
Uncle Spike has to bring this to Broadway 🎭
The best dance sequence ever recorded! Not just because of the message, the artistry of it all. All beautiful women and talented with natural bodies!
Agreed! 💯
Without question! It's in my Top 5 Film Dance scenes. I don't think anything will ever match this.
SAY IT AGAIN!!
If all the WBs took out their weaves...there wouldn't be too many in the piece....this reminds me of my dad's side of the family...colorism was a huge issue...
@@edencrush2223 its still an issue sadly. However, they needed the weaves to prove the point. I don't think it was about their scalp being natural lol, that is the whole reason they are called WBs in addition to their other behavior traits.
This beautifully points out some of the effects of colonialism and colorism on our people. The singing and dancing, so pivotal to our culture is masterful! This entire production from the lyrics to the music to the dancers is the highest art. Such a masterful expression of our experiences with each other.
It’s funny how they have one dark skin person in the light skin team.
I used this scene when I was talking to the host of a Percy Jackson Podcast I used it as an example to explain why some of the demigods joined the villians side.
Its was always the "you betta get out of my face girl" for me 😂😂😂
I loved this dance sequence when I saw the movie premiere in 1988 and still. It’s timeless choreography and the messaging that went along with it makes it more powerful.
The relevance still stands in 2023‼️
It wasnt just light vs dark because if you look at the group there was a dark skin girl but she had long hair. Sad as long as you had some form of euro-centric feature you were accepted.
Exactly. A lot of people missed that. It’s colorism and texturism differences between the two groups.
I don’t think so.
That’s what we’re brain washed to believe in America.
@@mysticalchemist5513 for sure!
I was wondering if anyone else noticed her also...✌
I just said this, funny I never noticed she was there before when I watched it as a kid.
Spike lee is a genius this movie gives you a lot to think about.👏🏾👏🏾
Yes they do. He deserves an Oscar.
This Choreography is all that I needed and wanted!! These ladies danced the hell out of this scene. The lady who did the red solo at @4:11 was giving me all of Debbie Allen!!
She definitely seems like a Debbie Allen trained dancer ❤🩰
This Is One Of The Best Dance Scene In The History of Hollywood
I was gonna say the exact same thing.👍
Agreed!
Indeed!
Team light skin and team darkskin.. cant we all just get along... I love you all sexy sistas. This doesn't happen in my family..
It is definitely on POINT.. Literally.
This is a masterpiece ! The singing dancing and energy is totally unmatched. All the ladies are so talented , beautiful and classy. One of my all-tine favorite movie scenes.
One of the most iconic scenes in Hollywood history.
I am 63 years old and I will never get tired of watching this. This cast was PROFESSIONALISM 100%
This movie is the Black Grease. I love it. My absolute favorite Spike Lee film.
Wrong...this movie is School Daze. Grease didn't have these social issues nor a Stellar cast with that many talents in it that actually had careers 💯👌🏿🖤❤️💛💚
@@mr.preacher6199
True, True..
This scene is so nuanced down to the choreography! Notice the ensemble dances between the two groups is so dynamic, you have the fair skinned women moving a bit more gracefully while the dark skinned women are moving aggressive with hip rolls and stomps. It’s truly amazing the talent in this film!
You know what? As many times as I've watched this movie and this scene, I've noticed some of the nuances. But that one? I was so mesmerized by the dancing that I didn't notice the contrast of the delivery. Thanks for pointing that out! 🔥🔥🔥
I see the same jazz/modern movement from all the women in this piece. There is more ballet in the Wannabe camp.
Such beautiful Black excellence! This scene blew me away when I was a child. Still holds the same resonance today!
Still an awesome scene 34 years later! Reminds me of West Side Story!
This was painful and amazing to watch.
Amazing sentence!
Still like this in 2021.
We are racist against our own people .
Facts
not facts
@@terejosh13 Ohhhhh but it is.
Since the Slave days and Brown Paper bag days.
Read and Go Deeeeeeep
@Melvin Dullard look up the definition of both.
Racist .
Prejudice and discrimination. Technically this is colorism
But yeah, there's many Uncle Ruckus out there that are just plain racist and carry self-hate
Classic. And unfortunately this “fight” still rings true today in the Black community.
Basically light skin vs dark skin, which still goes on today over social media smh
Its been a thing for centuries unfortunately.
@Matthew Waldman AND? What an absolutely meaningless and trite comment in the context of the OP.
@Matthew Waldman My opinion of your comment is pretty clear.
No WHITE SUPREMACY vs. Melanated culture and identity.
Stop worrying about other colors and do you white man is laughing hard
The picture quality of this film surprisingly stands the test of time.
I’ve always loved this scene.
It’s kinda magical.
Yup😁
We should have celebrated that ni matter what shade the most high made us we re the most talented people on earth. Other races copy our attributes because they're jealous of all of us beaublack people.
Everytime she scream " IT AINT REAL " I fall out from laughter 😩🤣
true, but "tar baby" is just wrong lol
@purplemyist2977 Yeah, but the way she said it came out of nowhere 😂
I can watch this scene over and over. This dance scene was one of the best in the movie. The talent and the choreography was flawless
i can't think of another director with a catalogue of back to back iconic movies. She's gotta have it, school daze, do the right thing, malcolm x, crooklyn. School daze is a lifetime favorite of mine. i didn't understand it at the time but i couldn't resist the entertainment and performance throughout. And the cast was STACKED even down to the minor parts, Cassi Davis and AJ Johnson in the window. As i got older, i realized the themes and the importance of self-value, dignity, and insecurity that breeds competition where there shouldn't be any. Spike Lee has always been ahead of his time.
Forgotten how exceptionally genius this scene is. Spike is among the very best creators / directors to have ever graced cinema. 🔥🔥🔥
Agreed! #spikelee
Jasmine guy killing it 💕💕💕💕 luv her
One of my favorite scenes in a movie of all time! Phenomenal! Spike a true genius!
Song and dance numbers in movies are often thrown in strictly for entertainment value. The rumble at Re Re's not only excels in entertainment and artistic value but it also delves into the heart of the issues of Black self-consciousness (good hair v. bad hair, light skin v. dark skin) to effectively drive home the film's key narrative theme. A perfectly crafted gem IMHO.
That's one of my favorite scenes from the movie.The choreography and music matches very well.Mr.Bill Lee did such a tremendous job to the song.Much honor goes out to him.
Every time I watch this I notice something I didn’t see before. This was so amazing to me as a kid and it’s still amazing today. 🔥❤️🔥
This never gets old!!
The lyrics, dancing, music all have a conversation with one another. This scene and Beat Street's - Battle at the Roxy are my two fav dance sequences.
The lyrics: Don’t you wish you had hair like this, then all the boys would give you a kiss.
I remember as children, myself and my cousins would reenact this entire scene❤❤❤ As well as the one at the step show!!! I mean u have Dawn Lewis, Cassi Davis, Tisha Campbell, A J Johnson, Jasmine Guy, Joie Lee, etc., all representing different beautiful shades of melanin!!! Just glowing
Also "I Don't Wanna Be Alone Tonight" is worth another watch. Jasmine Guy is stunning!
Love Spike Lee's films. Shame he gets so unappreciated as a filmmaker!
He did finally get an Oscar
I loved watching this movie when I was a child. This movie was an excellent example of the color division in our black culture. Sad we are still going through this
Black women are beautiful in all their forms. This is my first time seeing this and the choreography was the best I’ve seen
An excellent performance with a deep-rooted message.
I was in elementary school when this movie came out but was upset because my older sister wouldn't take me to the theater to see it. After waiting a couple of years, i snuck and watched SD when it finally came on HBO. I was so ready to go to college, not just for the sororities but the full diverse experience and somewhat independence. This scene betweeen the Js and Wannabes is pure art! Now I'm going to watch the Gamma Rays sing " i dont want to be alone tonight" in the talent show.
This scene has lived rent free in my mind all my life. Such a classic movie. ❤
Timeless classic. Too bad colorism is still prevalent among us.
It will be timeless like forever
Right especially on social media
I get colourist remarks more from whites than blacks where i live.
One of my favorite clips of all time.... and the dancing is AWESOME!
This movie will forever be a classic
To the curious, this was choreographed by Otis Sallid, with music by Bill Lee.
One it the 10 best dance scenes in movie history. This is singing in the rain level but most people haven't heard of it.
If nobody is writing a musical on broadway then I will !! I’m already writing four musicals this will be my fifth !
Do you mean you'd adapt School Daze for a musical? I think that would be great!
Go for it!
Not sure why Spike didnt turn this into an official Broadway/off Broadway musical. Would have been the easiest transition ever since it's already a movie musical.
Why can’t you focus on your community? Leave the Black community alone.
@@marriejames01 why can’t you leave me the hell alone ? Let’s see you writing it then ? And I am focusing on mine and not just mines POC too. 🤦🏻♂️😒
that was a sight to see growing up in the 80's, having lived through it and to know the issues still exist. But, not as much, this movie made a tremendous impact on us, let's not downplay that! Imagine where we'd be and what we'd be doing today if these issues were never addressed in this way. Love Spike Lee! A true visionary.
Loved this movie!!!! Back then I am sad to say I was a proud WANNABE but I am so glad I’ve changed. Lovin every bit of being natural. I am hopeful that our society has changed since this time!!
Don't feel too bad, many black girls went through the wannabe stage because of lack of representation. But we're getting better now at appreciating ourselves!
Facts😊
I never really noticed a color division until I was like 20 in college and having my best friends around my skin tone or lighter and we just didn't talk to the darker girls lol, they were mean but only while in college
This needs to be on broadway if it isn’t already. This movie was outstanding 🙌🏾
The all star cast in this movie aside including Spike Lee's sister Joie, School Daze, had a lot of great moments. Madame Ri-Ri's and the Coronation ceremony featuring the song "Be Alone Tonight" are my absolute favorite scenes from School Daze. As a kid I would sing and dance to all the choreography to this number. Watching this now after all this time in 2024, the muscle memory recall feels like yesterday. The lyrics are poetic, poignant and on point. Always loved the line, "...don't you ever worry 'bout that, 'cause I don't mind being black" as it meant so much. I shall end with a "Wake Up!"
30 years later and we got white latinas dropping songs about being a redbone 💀💀 can we do better as a collective please😭
It was just good and bad hair because they had light and dark on both sides when I see the skit
???? What song is that? ......
🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡
OMG 😭
Latinas are so called blacc women..Let's wake up my people!!Latinas we're in slavery before us so called blacks
As a 40 years old I really can appreciate this at levels when it dropped I had no clue
Watching this beauty and excellence and at the same time knowing this movie, nor this scene was awarded in some way is tragic.
This was absolutely perfect in every way.
You know what a valid point is, all of them are beautiful and danced well!❤
I remember seeing this in the movies. Still so relevant today. What have we learned? Where have we evolved? Black women are we still divisive or are still fighting about hair and skin tone? Just something to think about. The change starts with YOU!
It will never change until people accept their features and stop making mixed race people their mascots. But still latto, Rihanna, Beyonce, Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj and now Ice Spice are the "black" representatives. Racism and colorism won out and will keep winning out.
The most facinating thing about these dancers are that both sides are actually descendants of slaves and are amazing, fabulous and iconic!! Spike Lee did this!! This segment alone should have been on Broadway!! 👠👠
This was wonderful and this is coming from someone who normally hates musicals. The Choreography is off the charts. Dammit Spike you have a broadway show pretty much ready to go.
Stellar dance sequence! Captured Magnificently by Spike Lee . Tishe Campbell displays her Superpowers in versatility as a Triple Threat , Dancer /Singer/Actress .
Go Tisha!
Cinematography MASTERPIECE! GENIUS.
The legend that is... Tisha Campbell ❤❤❤.
Never forgot that scene or the song. Movie magic. Spike's films were major events back in the day.
To this day my eyes *always* land on Jasmine in the 3:00 - 3:50 dance scene. As a dancer she just killed it! Her movements and lines were just 👩🏾🍳😘🤌🏾💋 You could tell dancing was her element! I know mentor Debbie was proud. G’head Whitley Gilbert’s Sasha Fierce alter ego! 💃🏽👣🎶☺️
How did you equate Saha Fierce into this?
@@SoulSearch11110 I could explain it but then you’ll expect me to understand it for you also.
If you look at Tisha Campbell's character...and the way the Gamma Ray's perform their song in those dresses...somebody in Destiny's Child camp saw School Daze...Beyonce's hairdo & make up always gave me Jane vibes!
This hits differently since I’ve been both. With the swipe of a flat iron I can attract different men if I am kinky or straight hair. Ppl handle you differently. I’m well grown and this still stands out
This too true different hairstyles attract different men
Despite the topic of the scene, all the women looked like they had fun! Love seeing this side of Jasmine Guy's dancing talent! After all she studied with Alvin Ailey!
Still one of my favorite dance sequences. These ladies did the damn thing.
Tisha Campbel and Tichina Arnold rocked the 80's 90's black girl- black woman themes. Those two women ...wow.
*Never forget Debbie Allen.
Debbie Allen is the secret ingredient behind much of black woman genius in film, dance, a theatre of THE era.
Debbie Allen🎉❤🙏🏾💜 Even though she didnt choreograph this, many of those dancer cane through Debbie
I just realize after seeing this scene for the 4th time that jasmine Guy is in it.
Yessss girl. Miss Jasmine was a triple threat. Singing, acting and dancer.
@@CandieP She was also in the first season of Fame, as one of the dancer in Lydia Grant's class.
And the dark skinned wannabe girl is Doughboy and Ricky mom on Boyz n the Hood
@@TJ-od5fg Tyra Ferrell. She was in, "White Men Can't Jump," and, "Jungle Fever," too.
So were Dwayne and Ron
This is a CLASSIC scene from a masterpiece from Spike Lee. Kyme calling Tisha "High-Yellow Heifer" at 0:48 was a moment! LOL She said it with such conviction!
Probably one of if not Spike Lee’s most CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED MOVIES EVER
Bravo! I know the these women had a blast doing this scene.
Look at all those shades of browns. Insane! 💕💪🏽💯
Most men myself included would have stayed h@rd watching them.
Classic! No twerking just talented beautiful black women with style and grace! I love it! I wish it was still like this 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💗💗💗
Well, there are 2 adult entertainers in this dance sequence. I realized it a few years back. Not sure if Spike checked credentials before casting or just extras.😲
One of my favorite movies, hands down. The story, the casting, the acting, the songs, everything. I actually have some of these tracks downloaded on my phone. The coronation was my favorite.
It’s 2023 and we’ve taken these issues to a whole new level. Now we differentiate amongst ourselves by Hair type (2A, 3C, 4A, 4C….you get my drift!), Curl Pattern (kinky, coily, curly), Hair density and, let’s not forget, the obsession with Length Checks of our strands because there is this very real (and despised) deception of healthy, natural, textured hair called: Shrinkage. Now - We spend crazy money on products (finally) formulated for the needs of textured hair and we are beginning to truly appreciate and proudly showcase the natural beauty of our strands (no matter our age) and it’s unique versatility….Thank Goodness!! We still have some issues but we are definitely stronger. ❤️
I love this dance scene! So many beautiful classically trained black dancers.
I read in the trivia that Tisha Campbell didn't know what high yellow meant until she made this film. I first heard the term in high school when a classmate was talking about a girl.
High yellow is more my grandmothers time growing up they just called us redbone or yellow bone
I heard it as young as elementary (80s baby). It's like the Parent word for yellow bone
First time I heard it was when some dude called me a high yellow heifa' when I was nine. This movie came out that year so I guess this is where he got it from. Weird thing is that he was lighter than me. 🤨
@@juicyfruit9594 why is he calling a 9 year old a heifer? 🤨
@@nkirukaj2384 Lmfaooooo word
One of my favorite movies, and this was my favorite scene in it. The most beautiful of Black Women singing and dancing their tails off in a musical about the pain of colorism. I was a kid when I saw it for the 1st time and it helped me to see how we dress up pain. The best part is when they come together at the end of the song and you see them smiling and giggling at each other. I'm glad they couldn't hide the love on the set, no matter the content they had to project.
I always love this Song as a kid when I watched this movies. The beauty of the dance and sexiness of the ladies cat fighting. It was just perfect. Women in all different shapes and sizing moving and grooving 😂 Salute Spike.
One of my favorite Spike Lee films
Spike Lee certainly did put his foot in this film!! One of his best films ever!! A phenomenal🔥cast in this film!! :-)🙏🏽
Love this movie and this scene!!! So sad that we are still arguing about hair though...
This took me back to a good ol childhood. I miss movies like this
IMO...this scene was the best part of the film? All the dancers and singers did so well? The choreography was on point from the beginning to the end❤
This STILL goes on!!!!
Nappy is alright with me..... I love that line.
When are we going to realize we are beautiful
