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!
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
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.
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.
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.

My grandmother and before her were Ghullah Geechee and I was taught this dance and do it to this day
Praise House book Gullah Spirituals brought me here. Great that you have this memory and you can share it as well.

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