Class is now in session.
The below video is of the great James Brown, who is here to teach us all the latest dance steps. Yes, it's an old video, but for many of you, these dances will be completely new. It's modern-everlasting. Now that's some good stuff, which is why I'm posting it.
Can you teach some old dogs new dance steps? Well, if anyone can, it's JB. Does everybody have natural rhythm? Hell no. Can you teach rhythm to people who just ain't got none? Doubtful, he's a singer, not a magician.
While on the dance floor, white people like to stand in a circle. Perhaps this is in defense of each person taking their turn dancing in the center of the circle. Sort of like wagon trains, as opposed to soul trains.
On the other hand, black people like to stand in lines creating an aisle. This is much more of a showcase, and provides a better view. That's why they do it on "Soul Train", you have to think about the camera man.
Once you have watched this video, and practiced these steps, you can graduate to the dance line. Until that time, regardless of your race, please stay in the circle formation. That is all.
