right but i just dont like the fact that black ppl really think that whities have no rhythm. its not the truth!!!TheChosenOne said:its not that blacks are better dancers....its just that most popular forms of music today stem from Africa....we appear to be the best because we are dancing to our own creations
Jazz is the only true "American" art form and blacks had a big hand in creating it...
Country, Hip-Hop, Reggae, Reggaeton (dancehall music), R&B....all have African roots...and i'm sure other forms as well

I think it is not about race or culture but rather somebody being born with the gift to dance or not,period.

It's not that white people can't dance, it's that most of them naturally don't dance like the continental Africans or people of Afro-descent in general. So it's not a racial thing, but a cutlural thing. Dancing is like talking, it comes naturally to human beings, but some people are better speaker than others in their mother tongue. Now ask a French guy to speak Russian and see how he will mangle the language untill he learns it and has been around enough russian to understand the nuances and inflections of speech, the patterns of the language etc. It's the same with dancing. We dance to music and the music and rhythm vary from countries to countries, from regions to culture.
Barishnikov is a great dancer, a ballet star, but do you really expect him to naturally dance like the people in Congo? Of course not, he would have to learn the music, the steps and the different concept those Africans have of dancing.
Anways, if you think white people can't dance, then go to any night clubs in Brussels, Paris or Kinshasa and watch the European who are steeped into African culture do negroid dance that most African American can't dream of doing.
Exibit A: Watch this youtube footage very carefully and you will see that the white girl in the middle is by far the better dancer of the group, and she is surrounded by African girls! The name of the dance is "Lopele", from Congo-Kinshsa.

Exibit B: Here's another good dancer who is obviously fond of African culture.

Here's the Ndombolo, arguably the most popular trans-continental African dance ever. How many Black Americans or Afro-Brazilian can do this dance naturally on first glance? They will have to learn the steps and try to understand the music and the concept.

. How many Africans do you see dance the Tango, Waltz or Polka? Most can't perform those dance naturally, they will have to learn like everybody else. So again, it's not a racial thing, it's cultural thing. If you like hip hop and apply your energy into dancing to that music, you're going to be a good dancer. And the greatest dancer this world has produced pratice for hours, weeks even. Because most of the popular rythmn and music today are the work of black artists, it's normal that black seem to have the upper edge on dancing. It's their culture or a variation of their very owen that came from the Motherland: Africa. Historically, Africans and European used different instrument to produce Music, hence the difference in body movement and rhythm.
I hate when smb is tellin that bullshit! its not truth! dancin is not about colour, its all about rhytm and individual skills! If i hear smth like that, i consider it as an act of racism....but its so hurtin...(((![]()

Who said white ppl can't dance?
I'd say that we can't invent good dances.. but we can sure dance them if the inventors lets us steal them... ? :-D
Who says whites can't/didn't invent good dances? They just like everyone have strong and beautiful dances! The world doth' not revolve around just hip-hop!
