If Cities Could Dance: Memphis, TN / Memphis Jookin
Memphis jookin, also often called "urban ballet," is all about the footwork: graceful slides, dizzying toe spins, and impossible-looking ankle breaks. Watch some of Memphis' best dancers as they dance across Memphis and perform in the parking lots of Hickory Hill, under an I-40 overpass, and on the Riverside Drive basketball courts. Part of the "If Cities Could Dance" series.
