  Acabei de descobrir de onde veio a inspiração de Michael Jacson ao criar seu estilo de dança e suas coreografias.

  This did make me think of how Elvis was hidden from the waist down when performing on TV because it was too "suggestive". It's a shame there isn't more film on these incredible artists from the past. I'd never even heard of Earl Tucker.

  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.

  I came to this video after reading about Ella Fitzgerald in Wikipedia and then clicking on related items in her Wiki entry. I’m partway through the EF documentary on Netflix. Very flexible dancer! I’m impressed.
