Whether working with the Nicholas Brothers (Previously), working with the muppets, working with that funny, funny, funny reefer man, or making out with your wife, Cab Calloway never fails to entertain.

Dancing "rave style": from beginner to geriatric, you're covered

Unicorn on the cob — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 09:50:12 -0800

How to dance at a rave. People dancing to house music. The Detroit Jit vs. Chicago Juke. The history of the Detroit Jit on popular dance show The Scene from the 80's. 80's legends the Funkateers doing their thing to Wordy Rappinghood. Compare them to the New York City Breakers. But let's take it back, way back... The Nicholas Brothers vs. Benny Benassi. Think they look like they're raving? What about when you throw Kanye West in the mix? Have we always danced with such abandon? In South Africa, we have. More dancing from Ethiopia that looks like a lot of rave dancing to me. Masai tribespeople raving it up. Think raving is for young people? You're wrong. I saw this woman driving her scooter into tents at the DEMF in 2006 and getting up to dance... then found her again on YouTube. Think she was a one-time fluke? Wrong again. Here she is raving it up in 2007. Previously. Now everybody get out there and dance a little!

Fred Astaire said this five-minute sequence from Stormy Weather was the finest piece of tap dancing ever filmed. via
