Dances Dances Dances!
Cab Calloway, old animation (so weird!), and St. James Infirmary!I had to go and leave this on Coopers Myspace profile when I found it, there was really no other choice!
This clip is from a silent film with the FABULOUS Josephine Baker in it. I watched it with no sound and prefer this one with a modern remix of "Jauna La Cubana". She is so long-limbed but so fast and energetic! She gives gangly tall me hope for coordination!
This was used as the opening clip for the movie "GhostWorld". It is so wacky and rad and somewhat eerie (what is with the masks?) I love it. I have adopted a couple dance moves from this!
The undisputed queens of tribal bellydance drink Jameson and dance/mug to Man Man!! AWESOME. They are the light-hearted, technically-proficient and very inspired The Indigo. Their mugging and crazy faces remind me of Josephine Baker.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST
most AMAZING group dance sequence ever! All the men are so awesome, and the girl.....BE STILL MY HEART! Bollywood with some Footloose flavor, all on top of a moving train. I want to get a group of friends together and watch the whole movie (called "Dilse") at my house and then have a dance party. On top of a moving trains. Davis has a train station. It would be NO PROBLEM!
I hope you all enjoyed these videos. May we all live in a dancing and singing world!
