This five minute video is a fabulous and energizing look at African American dance history. Part of the TED series it is fun, relevant and inspiring!
Here is how TED explains the video and its focus.
Why do we dance? African-American social dances started as a way for
enslaved Africans to keep cultural traditions alive and retain a sense
of inner freedom. They remain an affirmation of identity and
independence. In this electric demonstration, packed with live
performances, choreographer, educator and TED Fellow Camille A. Brown
explores what happens when communities let loose and express themselves
by dancing together.
