This is my tribute to Soul Train, particularly the Soul Train Line Dance. Not only do you see fantastic dancing, you see incredible clothes and costumes from a lost era of American history.

These videos were inspired by Spike Lee’s film Crooklyn.  In the closing credits of that movie you see the Soul Train line dancers getting down to contemporary hip-hop, so I thought I would share with you what I have made.  Enjoy!

First up is “Body Movin’” by the Beastie Boys. I didn’t include any effects on this one because I didn’t know how to at the time. But the edits are pretty good.

The music here is the song “Busy Child” by Crystal Method.” The edits are okay and the effects seem to work.
