You've probably heard of the Nae Nae or the Twist -- but what about the Juba? The Monastery? The Kid 'n Play? African-American social dances span over 200 years of history in the United States. In this electric demonstration, packed with live performances, dancer and educator Camille A. Brown explores why communities dance together -- and what happens when they do.

Lesson and choreography by Camille A. Brown, titles by Kozmonot Animation Studio.
