I understand budget but it’s hard to believe they didn’t get paid. They are the reason we watched the show. I appreciate her work, as well as all of the other dancers. This was my fav era of Soul Train.

@carriebennett726 6 месяцев назад

It really is. That speaks to the dancers' commitment and really doing what they love for the love it. It also speaks to taking advantage of a situation. In the early days, starting off, I get it. It looks like this was commonplace for the show's duration, and that is shameful.

@raet8081 2 года назад

She was one of the most stylish and unique dancers on the show. Especially in the 90s, most of the other dancers just wore regular hiphop and club outfits by then

I remember this Soul Train dancer throughout my my childhood and teenage years! The signature high ponytail and nose ring literally brought back memories of the dancer. So cool, dancing with MC Hammer; one of my most favorite dancers ever since my childhood. Also Heavy D and The Boys - "We Got Our Own Thang" is one of my most favorite songs by the late rapper. I miss Soul Train! :)
