Katherine has grace, elegance and beautiful lines.

[Shaylashay]

This was my favorite scene of the movie!!!

[TXejas19]

[TheBrianna012]

this is gonna br great 4 my social studies checkpoint.

[roya00]

Katherine Dunham is the main focal point of both the dream sequence and the street scene. I really don't know your definition of dance but the entire dream sequence is dance

[29psalm]

@roya00 exactly.

[Louizabiza]

Which is Katherine? There is not much dance here.

[YankeeGirl226]

@Louizabiza The hell are you talking about it's a dance scene. Just because she isn't shaking her ass all over the place doesn't make it not dance.

[agloverfbgenius]

[olmec19]

[NCAAHPERD]

Thanks for posting this! We are always interested in finding videos about dance and dance education.

[lexilu935211]

wht kind of dancing is this? modern or jazz?

[topgrain]

@lexilu935211 It is street life, full of sly moves and deals, envisioned as a sultry ballet by a woman whose current world forces her to use her talents in other ways.

[ablackgirl05]

@lexilu935211 Modern. Katherine Dunham is the mother of Black modern dance.

[klakkin]

Gee !

[bduncombe]

Greatness comes in many forms, and Katherine Dunham was not only great but beautiful.

[AmberSumer]

She looks so much better than Eartha Kitt, I'll tell you that..

[mookindahouse]

Eartha I think is one of the dancers in this number

[AmberSumer]

Oh okay, I heard she use to dance for Katherine Dunham and Katherine charged a fee or those who showed up late for rehearsal and she would over charge Eartha because she was jealous of her, this is something I read off a website..

[brio1924]

SSS. Sultry, Sexy, Splendid.

[lalamama4real]

I wish the overall movie had been as excellent as this dance scene!  But, for that time period...limited roles for African Americans. But for those interested in other great dancers of this time period, please check out my Janet Collins movie trailer. I'm hoping to have the documentary completed by later this year.

[topgrain]

@lalamama4real

Is that not Janet Collins at 2:34 further steaming up the joint with that sexy move?

[lalamama4real]

@topgrain You know, you may be right. I had rented this movie, while making my documentary, trying to see if I could "pick her out" from the other dancers - and I guess I didn't do very well. It seems that is Janet Collins, but I couldn't tell. You must have 20/20. lol

[SalamTims]

The video Q is pretty poor and Katherine Dunham's sizzle slices right through the noise!

[bballgirlz123]
