DJMixzaa This was SOOO TOTALLY AWESOME! I HAD to post it to FB! I LOVE DANCE! Thank for such an AWESOME VIDEO! GREAT POST! 😃👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💗👍🏼💐

AWESOME dancers,music and just all round good fun,,Nay..Great fun is the word,,and these dancers do make it look so so easy..fan tactic...totally..👍👍😁😁😎

It was terrific, but I thought we were going to hear the Mills Brothers sing... 😳

DJMixzaa so dope

Connie Francis songs

Except whites did this earlier

I seen it 😊

The Mills Brothers had the smoothest sibling harmony!!!

I agree with most of what you said but what people don't understand is that these dances move were practice not just in New York, and Los Angeles, but in most major cities with large black populations. Some places just never got credit because their was no hip hop cultural movement in those days. It didn't exist...

@afroawarenesschannel7485..Right..And these dances also were in latin America and the Caribbean islands....Many Afro Latins and Afro Caribbeans had similar dances as ours back then and they didn't copy from us its just that we share the same DNA 🧬

'Breakdancing' is an African thing. The Mills Brothers kept the culture alive!!!!

Curly of the Three Stooges was the first.

Um, the Mills Bros. were singers. Not dancers. No idea who the dancers were in this clip.

This isn't no darn hip hop! People had their own thing back then and they hated hip hop as they became older. Especially RAP!

@@themajicman745 Everything is built on the shoulder of what went on before. Hip Hop didn't just happen in the 70's don't get it twisted.

Hip hop in its form started in the 70's it just incorporated things before its birth.But this isn't hip hop neither bboying

@@themajicman745 He's saying the seeds of Hip Hop were planted long before the 70s as you can see the dances in this 1930s clip resemble break dancing. Hip Hop is more than just rap fool.

Rapping exist in 1920s like this dance, dj, graffiti too but hip hop started in 1970s.

It started way hefore that. I am certain of this.

@Jay Aleem facts

Obviously is old school rare rapping break dancing freestyling to watch that we have so much history to learn bout, Gosh ! Me ask a black man we have so much discover that our ancestors was entertainer since we came hear with these instructor songs.

Way before the 30. Most breaking moves are african martial arts moves. Brazil and most of the carribean kept it alive.

Brown Americans been in America for 1 thousands years as Native Nations, don’t be fooled by that YT washed events ✌🏾

Your candor is much appreciated. I have realized that it's when I go abroad that I see people being more realistic about how society moves and culture in a general sense. It's when I'm home in the states that I see (now more than ever) a consistent and concerted effort to remove Black Americans from the annals of history. It brings me joy that 'SOME' good people like you out there are honest and can weed out the propaganda to see the good that we've brought forth to the world 🌎. Love, Peace and Soul.

"afro-Americans"? Nope!!! nor are we "African" Americans, that is racist and it must be removed. We're NOT Africans. We are.. -American native born Blacks -Foundational Black Americans -Freedmen -Descendants of American chattel slavery Please refrain from addressing my people as African or Afro, we're neither.

Don’t forget rock n’ roll

Thank you so much for the absolute truth.

I don’t enjoy any of the things you listed

Exactly right !

Everything old is new again

Yesssssssssss The NICHOLAS BROTHERS!!!!! ❤ ❤ ❤

Who the hell doesn’t know the Nicholas brothers did you just find out who those guys were? They were insanely famous

@@byHexted Not that it matters, but no, I just didn't just discover who the Nicholas Brothers were. I don't know if you just woke up from a deep sleep in a time capsule but I've got sad news for you! I beg to differ and would wager that the "average" person you pull off the street, especially younger than Gen-X, wouldn't know sh*t from shinola about the Nicholas Brothers or anyone from thier time. Heck, they would probably think your talking about English noblemen if you mention the names, Duke Elington or Count Basie to them then say to you, "Okay Boomer", if you showed them the same level of concern as to me knowing of the level the Nicholas Brothers' historical celebrity status.

@@byHexted shows how Brown People are always being surprised and cover up

Goats

Bro...Just because knowledge is everywhere doesn't mean people are any smarter.

D. Pinkston Didnt think they would be smarter.

mostmost1 , Breakdance is not a black American invention. It has been brought here by captive Africans enslaved in the Americas. The ancient Boloye dance kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sJxmqtd9qdzIqI0.html) among the Senoufo people of Ivory Coast is older Breakdance yet you can see breakdance moves in Boloye

@@lgnawa Your overt fetish for anything African has become a chronic condition.

The Emperor Jones, with Paul Robeson, shows brothers in the 1930s wearing fade haircut and break dancing!

It’s has nothing to do with southern. It’s a African American thing!! We are talented, no matter what part of the country!

Actually it has been found in hieroglyphics that date back to around 5000BC in Egypt and also they found some scrolls in China with break dancing that appear to date back over 10,000 years.

Roots came from the South and spread.

Well, now you have people like Fat Joe and PR saying they created Hip Hop 🤣

Wym there wasn't that many black people in California back then

And they definitely weren't doing music like black people in the south or north east

@@learner5090 These dances were done in Puerto Rico also as well as other islands. Do you think that black people in America just sprung up out of the ground? Black people in America weren't even allowed to dance at one point. That wasn't the case for the rest of the Americas, where these dances were happening then. People from the Caribbean have always been coming to America whether it was through force or free black people that came on their own. They were the ones reintroducing forgotten cultural habits to us here. It's obvious how effective whites were in erasing the memories of your ancestors, they have you out here thinking that black folks in America invented all of these old cultural cues. As well as some of you lying about always having been here when there's paperwork showing when you were brought and sold.

Yes, for the Creator of the Universe. 🙏🏼

King Bee :-) You mean, #TheOldTrain!?!?

HAAAA! HAAAAAA! HA! HA! HA! 😆

King Bee And people think Michael Jackson could dance!! No way was he as slick as them.

Ignorance because family didn't teach them anything about their own...old school appreciation

King Bee that's great, great, great grandpa and grandma, son! 👍

The original video available on KZfaq as well..

*gasp* What do I search to find it? Sorry for the urgency, I study Jazz Vocal at York and I need to get as much music from these times as I can. THANKS!!

emmelyu me 2

emmelyu me too

Wow! The fun our Great Grand Parents had minus the bells whistles and high tech gadgets we can barely move off on!

Can you link the video plz? Sounds interesting lol

Me lol

@@Thatperson20005 Thanks so much! Im beyond shocked and honored my video mix is inspiring other channels to take a 2nd look into the history of African American and Hop Hip dance! Not sure if its a Mandela affect or just people properly educating themselves on history but im glad the video is creating such a discussion!

@@DJMixzaa Your welcome👍

Nobody ever said that stop it..Rican’s added to break dancing that was all..but to say created, that’s a lie

​@IcedOutReek yes they do and Jamaicans started the rap. And we black americans learned it from the carribeans (pr n Jamaica) ask Busta rhymes he says it not me and others like him say it

​@@IcedOutReek Dr. Colon's been saying Puerto Ricans started hip hop and break dancing. Nobody knows where dude came from.

​@hydroblast2209 Hip Hop, Rock n Roll, Country, Blues and Jazz is all FBA music. Nobody helped us create anything. I get what you're saying though.

@@hydroblast2209he lying

Glad you enjoyed it :)

Looks like it could be after effects... be nice if it wasn't...

Ivan Tapia I loved this video and the others old, who of you knows the band name instrumental that is playing in this video.

There are films out there of this sort of dancing(and more "extreme") going back into the 20s... which probably means that it actually goes back into the 1910s.... whilst I enjoyed the music in this video I'd have preferred to hear the Mills Brothers (often referred to as Four boys and a Guitar) original sound track. Another thing the Milss used to do was make all the instrumental sounds except the guitar>> Listen here, especially from about 56 seconds on... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n76lg6Rhyr-lpKM.html

If you don’t pay attention, you’ll be old soon enough

Alecia Knighten What is the name of the band that plays this song?

@Marta Caballero look for Mills Brothers caravan

@@halconsalvaje Thank you my dear, it's been a year since I've been waiting for someone to respond, and you're an angel of God who came to give me the information I needed.

exactly sister one love!😍

iEncourge T Always had soul and taste

iEncourge T What is the name of the band that plays this song?

iEncourge T. We are trend leaders.

iEncourge T White America will try and fool you into believing Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly were the greatest dancers back in the day (poor Michael Jackson fell for it) but the truth is black dancers ran circles around those guys. Many white artist would go to the Apollo theater and black nightclubs to learn the latest dances and then go back and imitate what they saw.

Charlotte Vick there's nothing new about the human body just the material shit arround us from a new born baby to a old senior citizen the human body remains the same

Nothing new under the sun, just recycled and looking fresh with a younger face.

Exactly that’s why it’s very important to gate keep

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here are people doing it before FBA! Google the titles Thomas Edison recorded an Arab street dancer performing acrobatic headspins in 1898. From the film '"Wild Boys on the Road" 1933. Directed by William A. Wellman The first ever breakdance move recorded on film.

we are not african, africans are hamites. we are shemtites. you've been miseducated.

marroon rider . yes u don't teach African how to sing or dance .its just in the blood. ...

marroon rider don't speak for me I'm AFRICAN and proud. .. foh with that stupid ass Isrealite bullshit

I have a work mate from Cote d`Ivoire...He can´t dance at all!

Anastasia Beaverhausen Thank you! I roll my eyes every time one of these delusional Hebrew Israelites try to deny the clear West/Central African ancestry of black people in the Americas. It's in the food, the music, the dance, the language (creoles), and the spiritual traditions.

Squee I love u james :3

They gave us nothing, it all came from within!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Stop the Cap! Stop the Cap!! 🧢🧢🧢

Well technically they did, Puerto Ricans are mixed with African so yes

Learn your history Africans have been doing Capoeira long before slavery look it up

@user-zr1bg5yh5t that's true in Angola but you should know that's not break dancing and the Capoerira you know of today is Brazilian upgrades more stand up and Acrobatic skills Disguised in a dance to fool the slave masters during the time of slavery, the Capoeira from Africa is more ground based techniques that branched from monkey style kung fu and a remix of African fighting techniques , you should do some history checks

kevseb66 Yep

hell yeah. Because when Im dancing the music and dancing takes me over and Ioose control.

Well take it back please lol jk

kevseb66 this is indigenous dancing from right here in America. Tribal dancing at its best

100% you are right

AND THEY WILL NEVER RECEIVE IT, THIS IS IT, END OF THE SHOW, & MANY OF THEM COULD CARE LESS, & 4 THIS VERY REASON I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHIN 2 DO WIT THEM. ( 3 )

With the exception of jazz ,American"culture" is a hybrid of many cultures,just as USA is multicultural .which is only logical considering the diversity of people's in the United States.. the ONLY ORIGINAL art form America has contributed to the world is JAZZ. Louis Armstrong brought Jazz to the people.We are truly indebted to Black Americans for this great art form. Yet what is sad is how little people support it .hip hoppers will take a few bars and repeat them over and over to some pathetic nursery rhymes and that is about it .Most listeners do not even know they are listening to 'sampling' from great jazz records from the past.Current jazz musicians struggle to get by ,struggle to get heard and recognized.In most independent record stores Jazz is relegated to a sad few bins .Do not blame the stores,if the public does not buy jazz records,why stock inventory that does not sell ?. So the greatest cultural gift to the world,one that Black's have every right to claim and be proud of ,seems to be ignored . Very sad that Jazz is viewed as irrelevant by so many . How many of you out There claiming to "invent" different genres of music Have EVER listened to jazz,purchased jazz records,or supported Jazz musicians?

@@schmittyconstanz I think Jazz is sort of like a spice. It's not popular in it's pure form, like eating a mouthful of cyenne pepper. But subtle seasoning is what people love, and the influence of jazz is extremely wide reaching, where its derivatives have almost completely supplanted the musical styles that came before

Thank you!

beautiful women too. so hot!

Gotta hide those male hips

THE LOST ART LEGACY Where is the rage?

Hello Virginia, how are you doing?

Actually 1943 cabin in the sky with bill Bailey

delirous8 What is the name of the band that plays this song?

delirous8 right

The reason our world is great is because of the variety in culture and music and dance etc. Why can we just pay compliments without putting down something else. Ballet is great too. It's different. This is great too. Stop comparing apples and oranges.

alexandra berz... your name is too long ; try a shorter one . ...anyway it sounded to me like the long version of Papa Was a Rolling Stone ... the instrumental part ..but I could be wrong. if you've never heard it you should listen to it it's a great song from when I was a little kid

There's an old saying, "History doesn't necessarily repeats, but it often rhymes" Well we got the rhyming part down that's for sure!!!
