Ejoe Wilson. Dope.

In the beginning, there was Jack. And Jack had a groove. And from this groove came groove of all grooves. And while one day viciously throwing down his box, Jack boldly declared, “Let there be house.” and house music was born. I am, you see, I am the creator, and this my house. And, in my house there is only house music. But, I am not so selfish because once you enter my house it the becomes OUR house and OUR house music. And you see, no one can own this house because house in a universal language spoken and understood by all. You see, house is a feeling that no one can understand really unless you’re deep into the vibe of house. House is an uncontrollable desire to jack your body. And, as I told you before, this is our house and our house music. And in every house, you understand there is a keeper. And, in this house the keeper is Jack. Now some of you might wonder. Who is Jack? What is it Jack does?
Jack is the one that gives you the power to jack your body.
Jack is the one that gives you the power to do the snake.
Jack is the one that gives you the key to the wiggly worm.
Jack is the one that learns you how to walk your body.
Jack is the one that can bring nations and nations of all Jackers together under one house
you may be black you may be white you may be Jew or Gentile. It don’t make a difference in our house.
And this is fresh!— Koki “House Dance Without House” (via potofflowers)

Upcoming House Dance Film: Check Your Body At the Door
Twitter friend @615am hooked me up with a great link: an upcoming documentary, Check Your Body At the Door, filmed in the 90s that follows several NYC House Dancers through their adventures on and off the dance floor, many of whom are still very active in the underground scene (read below). Looks to be pretty riveting, and will debut in New York’s Lincoln Center on January 31. Hope to see it down here in Miami also!
From the website:
Check Your Body at the Door is a documentary about some remarkable underground-House dancers in NYC. Filmed during the golden decade of the 1990s, it follows a core group of master free-stylists to the clubs, to their jobs and their everyday lives. Archie Burnett, Brahms “Bravo” LaFortune, the late Willi Ninja, Brian “Footwork” Green, Barbara Tucker, Ejoe Wilson, Conrad “SP” Rochester and Asia Moon, among many others, talk about why they dance and what it means. Also filmed in the studio against a white background, in silhouette, or in light pools, their virtuosic moves and choreography are striking.
