Earl "Snakehips" Tucker (1905-1937) was an American dancer and entertainer. Also known as the "Human Boa Constrictor", he acquired the nickname "snakehips" via the dance he popularized in Harlem in the 1920s called the "snakehips" Riding this wave of popularity, in 1930 he appeared in Benny Rubin's 16-minute short film Crazy House, a comedic introduction to residents at the fictitious "Lame Brain Sanitarium". Tucker's 2-minute dance number, performed in a shiny white shirt and shiny, baggy gold pants, displays his amazing dance innovations, his style a precursor to modern street and stage dance. His name appears in the opening credits only as "Snake Hips". In 1935

Also known as the "Human Boa Constrictor", he acquired the nickname "snakehips" via the dance he popularized in Harlem in the 1920s called the "snakehips". He built his reputation by exhibiting his odd style of dance, which involved a great deal of hip motion. Tucker would make it appear that he was as flexible as a snake, and eventually, the dance became his calling card. He became popular enough to eventually perform at Connie's Inn and the Cotton Club. The snakehips dates back to southern plantations before emancipation.

@bounce51015 жыл бұрын
Possibly so, but this kind of movement traces itself back to a variety of West African dances which further developed in the Southern states especially Louisiana. Congo Square was famous for movement in this vein. There is little information where Tucker gained his particular style what influences he drew from.

YES!! This inspired all the jazz and sharcroper performers Elvis LOVED as alittle boy! Add that and the face that her was Pentecostal in a mixed race church the 1935-1955. I was raised in one in the 1980's in Louisiana! Everyone jumps, hollers, prays, anointing & faint! They dance and praise, worship & speak in tongues! He tells a story of them singing and worshiping in the cotton fields. He had rode on his mom's cotton sack from a newborn until she got his father released when he was 4. They all lived and worked together & went to church every evening until 11pm!!! Then moving to Memphis and working on Beal street. He played in clubs and hung around all the clubs with all the young greats! BB King, Howling Wolf, little Richard, Chuck Berry, The Prisonaires, Fats Domino, Big Mama Thorpe they were all growing up at the same time absorbing all that inspiration. Some people tap their feet, some people snap their fingers, and some people sway back and forth. I just sorta do 'em all together, I guess. Elvis Presley
