I just love how all of the former dancers say that it was just a wonderful experience. They all describe that environment as a “family-type” atmosphere, where people just had fun and lifted each other up (as opposed to many sad and traumatic stories of people in entertainment). I just love that so much!

Wouldn't be nice to see all the dancers showcased back dancing together one last time? We're all older now, but it would be so nice to see if while they were dancing the video editor's could highlight their younger selves with how they're now. Give a thumbs up if you like this idea?

Her legs was so long and she was sophisticated, I remember wanting my aunt to dress like this when she came home from New Jersey 😁😁😁Good Memories

I love love love these clips! One thing I've noticed is that these former dancers have aged so well. They all look fantastic! The women were so beautiful and nice natural bodies, no fake body parts.

I’ve watched a couple of these videos of the Soul Train dancers reminiscing about their experiences and what sticks out to me so far is how humble most of the dancers are . They are so talented! Brag a little! So far everyone has had really positive stories and it’s nice to see that happen in show biz.

I remember her! Especially that moment when she was slithering on the floor down the Soul Train line. Lol. As a kid I was GLUED to that TV screen. I was secretly learning how to dance since we were devout christians and forbidden to listen to rock and roll music. I fantasized about being on that show! Yeah I'll dance and be a devil. Lol.

I was working as an RN in the early 90s at the one particular hospital...and on Saturday morning no matter how sick those patients were when you were in their room they had SOUL TRAIN on...I would linger a little longer to catch an act while giving meds or doing a treatment....never will forget that it was nice to see patients smile...and if they could nod their head to the beat

Oooh, Soul Train was EVERYTHING on a Saturday! No weekend was complete without tuning in to see the Soul Train line!

No exaggerated implants or botox filled faces just natural beauty, fit and healthy bodies. Loved the Soul Train dancers💕

70’s is my personal favorite! The music was so rich back then. Curtis Mayfield, Parliament & Funkadelic, Earth Wind & Fire, Issac Hayes, War, Teddy Pendergass, Ojays ect…The fashion and hairstyles were legendary. Smh I hope they bring this show back.lol I would love to audition.

OMG these are so good!!!!! She is JAMMING!

Growing up on Westside of Chicago, I watched Soul Train every Saturday to study the dance moves and admire the beautiful ladies. Serving in the U.S. Army, I did dance moves when running and singing Cadences while marching. Still today when running on the streets, I do dance moves passing store front windows and love the freedom of wireless headphones. My military tour in Germany allowed me to DJ and run with the style of peace and soul!

Cool

Miss Soul Train sooo much

That handstand cartwheel somersault forward split !! Top ten Best Soul Train Line dance things ever on the show!

I just thought you were so adorable Ms.Diana Hicks Sherer. I was always amazed how you and others did them flips, in those shoes, in those outfits, ON THAT FLOOR! I remember, emulating your "snake dance" and always thought of you, while dancing in the mirror at home! You always looked super young with your hair pulled back. Continued blessings. Hmm, seems like no one was doing the snake dance til you perfected it!

The animation in this series is so cool. Love the lava lamp, nice 70s detail.
