Love how you are evolving into an archive and analyst of HBCU majorette dancing, counts, uniforms, culture and history! You'll be hosting conferences and speaking on panels soon! Keep it up! 👍🏾 Much respect

Seeing the 90s Jsettes creativity let’s me see how they created count books all over the SWAC

Not even just the swac. Their influence is evident across HBCU majorette dance as a whole.

For Black people who don’t know SWAC dance differentials. “Jsette” is the adverb and “Dancing Dolls” is the adjective that is most commonly use when describing Black majorettes.

@ridethewaves4034 2 жыл бұрын

The movements are more jazzy now. The 90's appeared as if they danced from the hips and waists up, more upper body then lower body movements. Movements today are deeper with the jazz plie squats. They basically used their entire bodies, and that makes the movements bigger, deeper, stronger, and better.

@tennisstar2011 2 жыл бұрын

Looking at the old school videos the Jsettes and Dolls used to dance pretty similar in the stands back in the day. Dr. Afrachanna (J-Sette) and Traci Prince (Doll) were really the trailblazers for separating their styles to what they are today.

Afrachanna’s era cleaned up and modernized a lot of those old school counts for that time during 1998-2000. I also notice that her reign brought in a lot of slow/mid tempo counts to the book. The J-Settes didn’t really throw counts to slow songs during early-mid 90’s. Of course we all know she is the mother of C bucking. That’s what the Settes are mostly known for in the stands.

I know this is an older video but what I noticed about the Oatis era was that the girls' form really shined when they got out on that field for halftime. This is why dance evolution is important because now the Settes have the stands on lockdown.
