These are dancers Al Minns & Leon James in a clip from a TV variety show broadcast ~1961. By then, they were middle-aged.
When they were teenagers in the 1930s, they'd been famous dancers at Harlem's Savoy Ballroom doing their own styles of the Charleston. Put this after "watch=" in the address bar and you can see them do more old school 1920's dancing: KJsBa2u9aMQ
Or just search their names. These guys were something.
@sethboy66 I hate the music and the shuffle dancers I didn't say I hate the dance at all, they wear faggot clothes and look like faggots, no offense to homosexuals, who don't dress anywhere near as bad as them. I'm sorry that your poor reading comprehension saw contradiction instead of a simple statement, not all men can be smart, or the word wouldn't exist. Continue to troll and be unremarkably gregarious though, faggot, I mean sir, sorry.
Looks more like the dance ppl do to that shitty techno hardstyle music. Something stepping... I forget. Shuffle. That shit yeah. Not saying this video has bad dancing, it's good, I just fucking hate shitty techno and shuffle dancers today...
@Grassdragoon so you hate techno and shuffle dancers, yet you think the dance of these people is ok even though they dance like them... sir, excuse me but i think if you had anymore contradiction in your comment chuck norris would be involved.
@TheMistahGreen I'm sorry but this music is freakin' classic. Not as classic as the video but your bogus for calling it bad music. >:( Seriously it kinda pisses me off.
these guys are from waaay back in the day yet im sure they can dance todays music much better than those who come up with the rediculous dances of today
That is my goal for prom. Old school percolating xD at our AFJROTC mil ball this song was played and stood there watching the guy I like percolate. I'm learning this to get my lady balls -:D I can handle doing this in a skirt. :P
is it weird that i want these guys to be my gay uncles, and drink apple juice with me and after we read bed time stories they show me how to do the percolator. :/ <3 A GIRL CAN DREAM...!
Yo, Stephen George mixed this for Cajmere at Jive Records in Chi-town. He was mixin all the house stuff back then. NOW he's got his own studio, label and you tube channel. Check out Gimme That Sound and check out one of their best new bands-My Pet Dragon. They're AMAZING!!!!
@kalbert94 Well it is something different in many cities, but in the mid west where it originated in never looked like that checkout any chi-town percs...there were like 4 versions northside, southside westside and then G.I. perculator(gary, ind). the dance everyone call the perculotor NOW used to be called the Tom and Jerry and in some places now its called the Sponge Bob...but I do appreciate that you dug this video up to show how dances NEVER change only the names PROPS!!!!!!!!!

@thecornerco Not at all actually, there's has been WAY more old, styles of dancing, even native dances, that footwork derived from, the same can be said about break dancing.
