House dance | Dancers From The Loft | Paradise Garage | Documentary 

It's true the circle is a blessing and a curse. Great points were brought out about this.

“The circle” emanated from the Hip Hop scene when breakdances and boogeyboys battled. House music took it and they battled one another in the circle. Then they made it a cultural thing. But the true “circle” was the Hip Hop battle stage for all to see.

We appreciate being able to look back at this style's authentic origins, thank you for uploading!

This is my YOUTH! FLOODED WITH THE FEELS!

Moves like" butter baby" smooth

everyone in the world should aspire to this, even if you're in a wheel chair.

Thank you Blessings for sharing the culture!

what a fucking vibe

Oh boy, the tunes ❤ Great film.

Never been a fan of any dancing outside breaking. But this right has got my eye g

This is FIRE!

This is almost all from the documentary called Maestro with the exception of the last 2 or so segments, is there credit given???

In the beginning, there was no circle. It was packed. You found your space and did your thing. Now if your thing was interesting, attractive , people would begin to coalesce around you. Not to watch you , but to dance by you. In your space, your energy. "Step into my space. Let it take control. Feel my energy. Surging electricity..." Circles came from the house music scene. It did take away from the organic energy. It killed the collective vibe. But, it was a change in social consciousness. The 60s vibe ended in the 80s. The 90s was the beginning of the "me era". The communal vibe gave way to the egocentric vibe. Even studio 54 was inclusive. Celebrities partying with someone who worked at McDonalds. The 90s was the beginning of the end.

We was doing circles in 88

Great video

❣️

At the Paradise garage there was no circles everyone dance with each other all by themselves and sometimes in groups, Richard long was accessible to the paradise garage because if anything went wrong with the system he lived a few blocks away, there's no place like it and there never will be❤❤❤❤❤

Don't forget bout BARBARA TUCKERS SOUND FACTORY BAR WED AND THURS!

Where is Tony McGregor , Seku and Marjorie?

The house dancing here looks more current, does anyone know if there any dance footage that is actually from The Loft back in the 70s ?

What’s the track at 3.09 ?

nothing is dated

Where are these dancers now

Now everyone stands and takes selfies, daren’t dance in case someone films the, and it goes viral for people to laugh at but have no problem doing TikTok crap dances in their room

Bro, these people are not from the Garage or Loft - what the...???

I didn't see anyone doing the "homo" dance, lol. That's what it was called back in 85 or was it 86? I was there like 3 times. Meeting phyne ass women all the way from Baltimore and Philly and other places that used to be there just to see what the club was all about. The ramp to go pay, the dressing rooms, couldn't hear shit but the music beating on your heart, fucking up the rhythm of your pulse and shit. The bar (dont fuck with that punch, it is spiked. That was the first thing my boys told me), people chilling at the movie theater and at the terrace too. I believe I was the one of the few teenagers snucked in there back in them days. Next thing you know, the lease was not renewed and the club had to close its doors. I believe I was already in the US Army when that happened. My boys Rican and Tony told me about it.
