(313) NPR on Chicago Footwork music

2010-12-06 Thread kent williams

Even more fascinating, I can't think of any analogous dance culture amongst white people. Well, there's the Melbourne shuffle, but the moves aren't a patch on the Chicago stuff, and it's best to watch with the sound off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGAatCB4KCwfeature=related
