To sonboogie...The name of the documentary is "House of Tres"...By the way I'm Marjory...The girl in this clip...This was about N.Y club kids & our experiences...If you can't relate to our experiences,I'm sorry...BUT...I am very proud to have been part of a collective that has inspied the world to dance...Peace!

Hi everybody!!! This is Marjory..I want to use this opportunity to clear things up..I want to thank Chicago for inspiring the world musically...BUT!!! This documentary is not about the whole house scene...If you saw the whole documentary there was a vogue section also..This documentary is about particular club kids & our experiences...

its a PBS TV documentary from 1992 called "Alive TV", containing 2 parts: "House of Tre" and "Wreckin' Shop Live from Brooklyn"

Brings back my memories of hanging at the Tunnel in the early 90s

R.I.P Marjory & Voodoo Ray

RIP Marjory

RIP Voodoo Ray. Thank you for being a part of our dance culture. #HouseHeadForLife

Dame, I'm having "Red Zone" and "Sound Factory" flashbacks!!!! :)

Studio 54, sound factory , 1018, Roseland red zone la mour east, club speed n more like Mars, eclipse palladium limelight tunnel sob's etc Those was the days, but thank got so much collection of music from NYC

Thanks 2 Majory Smarth 4 her contribution/s for the inception of some of the current African Styles of House/Club Music Dancing even now in 2011-2012. much respect. "let there be house"

Folk don't dance nowadays. They just stand there & point with a slight bounce. usually with an IPhone or a beer can in the other hand. Back in the day it was all about te music & the dancing.

First time I was ever in a club was at Red Zone in 1990. I recognize a few of these guys being in the club that night. As a matter of fact the girl Marjory was one of them, I see she passed RIP. They broke out a circle and everyone moved back to give them room. The club played The Poem and the smoke machine filled the floor. This square cage thing lowered from the ceiling while this insane light show flipped on when the speaking part of the Poem ended. I recall the dancers in the circle wearing those baggy suits and the big platform shoes that you saw in the Stomp video. What I remember most was Lisa Stansfield been around the world was playing outside as we were waiting to get in. I think Kenny Ken was on the rope. Once inside you had the dancers like in this video, the drag queen types, some hip hop people, wall street guys in suits, basically an very diverse group of late night people all dancing.

I remember those days. Wish I could rewind the tape and go back there.

Thanks for this. All of these great dancers never got the credit they deserved. All the videos they appeared in, trust me, we were vibin' with the dancers.

the dude at 3:47 was the epitome of house dancing to me before i really started to go out to clubs!!! Got to go to clubs in my early teenage years, first time was in 90' The Marquee, very lucky to get in. i was burnt out at 20 and went to the air force in 96. I still have many flyers! Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayum i miss those days!!!

DAMNNNNNN MY WHOLE CHILDHOOD/YOUNG ADULTHOOD 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽MISSSSSS THOSE DAYS!!!!!🤦🏽‍♀️💓

No disrespect to people from Chicago & some of you that were negative about this,but you didn't have anything to do with our growth as dancers...Most of of us in this documentary were able to come from street jams ,then to the clubs and now we've able to inspire the world...Try to see the positive in people sharing their part of the story..It may not be your story but it's ours & I'm proud to have been part of it!!! Peace..LIVE TRUE & DANCE FREE!

FLEXXXX!!! Look how little he was!

Thank You for the History Lesson! I really enjoyed this.

Thanks very much for uploading this onto youtube,

Had fun doin this back in the days

I love this video!! I love that they mention The Red Zone and World clubs, unless its my friends that i use to hit up these clubs with? Alot of people don’t remember unless they were real house heads. Great video.

Thank You God for HouseMusic!!!

thank you, love this clip

This was dope. ❤️

ACID CRASH by TYREE! CLASSSSSSSSSSSSIIIIC!

I saw Peter Paul destroy this kid on the Dance floor at this club called "the Deep" in L. E. S dude was an incredible dancer

oh my god! I love this documentary...everybody should whacht it!!! I put it in myspace :)))

I loved Hip Hop, but my true love has been and always will be House. I grew up amidst a lot of homophobic behavior so I had to chill since back then, House and Techno was equated to homosexuality. I wish I had the courage back then to say “ain’t nothing gay about 4 on the 4 floor.”

Back in the 90's whenever you went to a club or house party there would always be a circle and a battle goin on !!!!! Shouts to all my "CASA HEADS"!!!!!

Had a great thyme in this video wish we could bring back those dayz! In this video: Alejandro Morales Jr, Caleaf Sellers, Christopher Sawyer , Donovan Niccola' Henry , Ejoe Wilson, Emilio Austin Jr, Link Elite Force Flex, , Marjory Smarth, Ron Paizley, Voodoo Ray This is a short version/trailer of a documentary directed by Diane Martel. Rest of it will be in the book. LOL!!!

house is where the heart is at:)

OMG House Dancer Over Here Boogie Down BronxHipHopNation4Life Jay🇵🇷70’s & 80’s Kid & can still bring it @ 60 & a CPT-NASM Popping Locking & UpRocking You got Served WeeeeeeeepA💪🏻💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿🤗❤️🙏🏼

It be awesome to learn to dance HOUSE

yo flex came along way....back then hiphop paved the way for lots of people

great video should put the whole thing !!

@ charles chinhicks: the track is by Aphrodisiac - Song Of The Siren. ....beautiful song!!

Part 1. House music did in fact start in chicago. However, house music evolved from disco, soul and loft music and all of that started in NY(except 4 the Europe speeded up re-edits). Record lables like West End, Sal Soul and Prelude were NY based lables. And Frankie Knuckles from the South Bronx brought those sounds to Chicago. Before House, we were calling it Club music, underground music and now we call it dance music since the music played isn't strictly just house.

So much KNOWLEDGE in the house! Can we still get this film???

i agree 1000%

Sick documentary - never saw this one. Peace to Mop Tops and Wise Guys, Ejoe, Peter Paul, Stretch, big Leaf and Ramir etc... Those were the days - lets bring'em back! The World, Mars, Dining n Dashing in the Vill (Well maybe not bring that back) LOL!

It's funny how bad the early 90s fashion was...when you went to club they played dance music...and people danced...they didn't stare at the DJ and pump their fist. They played classics, r&b, hip-hop, and reggae all in the SAME party...beleeeedat!

@doc362 yeah i wish i was from new york city , i just love that place, awesome vibe each time i go, though i have yet to find a "house club " there..maybe next time , in Toronto( where i'm from) we have so many..and meet so many great dancers and cool people, crystal waters...oh man she had some tracks back in the day!

Save the Robots...oh shh...memories...word...

SOMEONE HELP ME FIND THIS ON DVD!!!!!

thatz called sooooouuuul my brotha

@domisimon I COMPLETELY know where you're coming from dude. Before, I used to go to Hip-Hop, Rock, & Gino Italian clubs with pretentious peeps. But the EDM scene found me...you don't find it --- ever. If you're chosen to discover the scene, your life will NEVER be the same. :-)

youre right- song is called acid crash by tyree cooper. a close imitation done first by lil louis video crash

house! came from disco breaks! back when america banned disco... it went underground into a warehouse in chicago and for short ppl called it the house!and so on...

2:58 Dj Sprinkles sampled the crowd cheering at the girl in "Ball'r (Madonna free zone)" What a coincidence tu run into this video.

@moshhon These dancers are decedents of the Hoofers & Lindy Hoppers, raised on the SAME SOIL, NYC/US....UK JAZZ DANCERS got there dance from the same people...that being said...the influence is from their elders not UK...remember there was no youtube back then....

that looks cool...after all it's 1991...that's when i was born :D

@TheAUDIOARCADE I still wear my Doc Martens (since mid 80's).Now my kids & their friends are rockin' them....oh yeah,I'm in Brooklyn

I could swear I saw that beautiful woman circa '92 at Nell's in NYC doing an African dance and looking bad ass doing it too. Could it have been her? Even my ex-girl at the time thought she danced well.

word!

@houseofjrk LOL...SO WHERE ARE THE CLIPS OF THIS DANCE?BCUZ THIS IS 20 YEARS AGO...& AFTER 20 YEARS OF HEARING THE DANCE ORIGINATED IN CHICAGO...I'VE YET TO *SEE* IT!THE MUSIC IS FROM CHI-TOWN...THE DANCE IS FROM NYC!DON'T GET IT TWISTED!

@KyMace IT'S A CLIP...OF A 45MIN LONG FILM...YOU'D SEE EVERYONE...IF YOU SAW THE "ENTIRE" FILM!

nice video and DAMN what is that song at 01:24????!!!! i need that track!

for more footage of nyc clubbies from 1991 search "club mtv." also search "new dance show" from detroit to see classic 80s/90s club dances. is there a chi dance show from that era? could only find chi disco from 78.

positive!

btw, seems like most of the steps in Dee Lite Groove is in the Heart came from this scene. I firmly believed it was all early 70s psychedelic dance ...

u should upload the whole movie.

i had this documentary and lost it. been looking for it ever since 20 years!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyone have the name?

I know half of these kids from back in the day! Wonder how they look now! Lol y’all see flex humble beginnings 😅

More San Francisco kids need to see this video cuz for some strange reason, they think they invented this style of dance. School these west coasters!

yup

how old is this clip? dang i need to start house dancing like now

@171TITO the song played at 3:49 is video clash you have 2 versions of that song

@bboygarrick you have 2 versions Acid crash by Tyree and video crash by Mike Dunn

you a funny dude

House of Tre

hey Marjory I'm a big fan of yours from Africa... do you still dance? where can I watch the whole documentary? thaaanks

@stephany9084 Original House Dancers? Where is their work? & can they still get down? Cuz many of the ones in these clips still get biz & have been teaching worldwide.

i do House....~~ a bunch of us in Sydney, Australia House.. and i agree....when we do House in the House clubs...people look as us weird.....

the baggy style of dress came out of the House scene, made its way over to Hip hop, cross mutation

YOOO thats the father from one on one

you're are right. House is a melting pot of all cultures...all the elements existed before the term HOUSE...in my opinion.

That was "Crash" by Lil and the World, the remix

finally the truth

generations

Shouts to all my CASA HEADS!!!!!

Crl, massa!

I remember the Italians with the wrestling type sneakers kick dancing... LMAO - good times

can someone please tell me the name of the track between 1:24-1:34? I need that song back in my Life!

@haydenelrics Yes that was Flex. He used to dance for Latifah. He used the dance as a stepping stone to get into comedy

💌

pardon me i mean video clash by lil louis however mike dunn did help on one of them they both came out around the same time lil louis version has more bass

Flex is the man keep it real

i want to learn how to house so badly dammit...dam the east coast...dam lol

@TheAUDIOARCADE i see a heavy jazz dance (20's - 50's) influence on both northern soul and house. jazz dance which was developed in nyc (harlem at the savoy to be exact)... i think it's most likely that "house dance" style is derived from the jazz dance style (same geographical area - before internet as well) than the derivative northern soul style. the reason why they may look superficially similar is because they share the same root.

yo thanks fhmallo69!

yo when do they show link, caleaf or e-joe in this? I only recognized marjory and stretch lol. Marjory looks exactly the same today btw.

Can anyone tell me song that is playing while Marjory is dancing? It's playing in the background from 3:07 to 3:39. I have it on one of my house mixtape from the 90s but I've never known the song.

Can anyone tell me what track this is? @ 00:08 till 00:22 and (I think its the same track) @ 03:55 till 04:50....man, that track is nice!

3:16 the poem - bobby konders

Truth! I remember when kids used to DIS you for wearing BAGGIES then the 6 months later they asking where you get'em from! Where the parties at lol!

+1

The shit the real DEAL !!!!

house music

i believe 70's was disco era
