This documentary, from the National Hand Dance Association and filmmaker Beverly Lindsay-Johnson, explores the history of Washington, DC's official dance, its variations, and its continued presence and popularity among all age groups.
@Swinglady1 Most women who go out hand dancing do not have dance partners. That's the beauty of the dance. We enjoy it better when we can enjoy the individual improvisation that the men bring to the dance.
@cear1945 DC Charlie - Thank you for the correction. I looked up the location on a website, and that's what I got. And no one corrected me in the past. Lee, Maxine, Brad and Cheeks are some of the best.
Isn't Joe Turner the one who sang: "GET OUT OF THAT BED, WASH YO FACE AND HANDS? LOLOL! "SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL!" I was only 5y/o when I heard that jam! My Uncle Robert used to blast that along with: Bobby Blue Bland, B.B. King, Jimmy Smith's "Organ Grinder," & Lightnin Hopkins jams, all the time! As a 3rd cousin to Ms. Aretha Franklin I now realize How RICH indeed our Heritage and cuture truLy is! Here's what I do...

Love this kind of carrying on. It is just hard to find a dance partner.
