Synopsis:
There is a movement rising from the inner city streets of Memphis TN and taking the dance world by storm. Jookin, (aka gangsta walkin, buckin, choppin,) is an art form like none other, defying the laws of physics with freestyle movement and hip hop swag.
Born from the "gangsta" music and mindset of the Memphis club scene in the late 80's, Jookin has evolved into an outlet for urban youth in a city that often leads the nation in violent crimes.
Get an inside look into the culture inspired by this style that has been hidden from the world for over 20 years, now making its way into the mainstream thanks to the efforts of the Udig Dance Academy and rising dance legends like Daniel Price, Dr Rico, G-Nerd, Ladia Yates and Lil Buck!
Filmed from 2009-2013 and Featuring commentary from Memphis celebrities Crunchy Black (3-6 Mafia), Al Kapone, Lil Wolf (G-style), Young Jai, and Tarrik Moore (Udig), Memphis Movement is sure to wow you, getting you up to speed on the life-changing value of this historic art form which hails from the Birthplace of Rock and roll and the home of the blues. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
That’s me at :33 seconds! Mama I made it. Lol
imo America’s most unique export. Memphis jookin will be talked about in history books one day
I am so proud.. of you all..
Memphis Auntie..❤️🙏🏾💜
I'm from NYC after watching a youtube video Ghetto Style Memphis Jookin I was HOOKED it is really the new age ballet I also watched some of the OG Jookin videos which were also CRAZY I watch at least 3-4 MemphisJookin videos a night I watch the passion and skill that goes into the dance GOOD STUFF KEEP IT COMIN' 4evr Fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I grew up in Philadelphia & North Carolina and I, now, wish I grew up in Memphis!!!! Big up Memp!!!!
This is a natural talent that we possess it is not rehearsed it is practiced into perfection. I really enjoyed watching this documentary I learned a lot about the creativity that goes into the dance but most importantly the HISTORY of the DANCE. Continued Blessing and Success to ALL.
I’m so proud of my people finding other ways to stay positive I’m 62yrs old I’m just enjoying watching my people get together and making new creations from dance we started all these dance from our ancestors much love my people 👑
💯💯
👊🏿⚔️🏹🪶🌽💜
HAVING FUN.....& STAYING ALIVE. 🤗
IT'S THE MELANIN FOR ME.
Memphis is Legendary🔥🔥 support from the 🇬🇧
The way Lil Daniel explain Jookin will make a grown man cry😭💯🙏🏾
This was how we spoke when we started B-boying we were 💯% into it!!
Leave this up another year or two, I reckon ita blow up at some point. Jookin caught some real traction again lately
Jookin creative feeling the dance.
The narrator of this video I don't know if I agree with no other dance is like it. I grew up in the Bronx and it looks to me like the electric Boogaloo and break dancing evolved to Jookin.
I loved it!! Like watching!! Better this than that.....like the young brothers said in the video!! So keep up the good work!!!
This was a nice Documentary about my city! I am just disappointed that TP or Grease Man and Lil Clark was not apart of this Compilation of the finest of what I call GANGSTA WALKING! I REALLY MYSELF WOULD LIKE TO BE A PART OF A SERIOUS MOVIE ABOUT GANGSTA WALKING AND HOW IT TURNED INTO JOOKIN!
Best documentary EVER! I am SO proud to be from the Memphis, TN area! This doc is so uplifting and inspirational for all of our youth who are faced with hard decisions and peer pressure from gangs, drugs, dropping out or getting expelled from school, the revolving door of juvenile detention or the county jail, lack of real job skills, & lack of quality safe educational environments. Jookin can act as the much-needed catalyst to spark a change in a young persons' mindset, an outlet & safe haven for emotional expression, & an encouraging supportive social circle to give you stability, trust, reliability, responsibility, and most of all self-confidence to do more, want more, and to become more! Kudos to the producer, director, & last but not least the INCREDIBLY TALENTED dancers. I'm ecstatic that all of the dancers & UDig Academy have been able to monetize their talent and use it to sustain themselves. All too often years later when you follow up with those featured in a documentary film, you find the subjects worse off, impoverished, in jail, or dead upon follow-up. Positive things are happening in Memphis! #MemphisTNStandUp #MemphisJookin #MemphisGangstaWalkin #Choose901 #SmileMemphis
one of the most realist documentaries I've ever seen. As a jooker myself in a crazy violent city I can relate to all of this. warping into a different world and style deep into the dance is true and feels awesome. so much positivety y'all. keep it up
All this talent makes me so proud of Memphis! Lil Buck is the truth & has really blown up. So great to see Ladia Yates in this too. She's doing amazing stuff with the youth at L.Y.E.
I find this to be amazing! This is proof that no matter what evil is placed before us to keep us down we will create a way that will lead us out from the darkness presented to us. As Maya Angelou so eloquently stated, "Still I (WE) Rise!" Great job Ellis!!!!
As it is written... Ye are gods, children of the Most Most High G-d.... B1 Shabbat Shalom 👊🏿🕎⚔️🏹🪶🌽💜😊
Wut Daniel said from 3:11-3:30 is the exact reason jookin entered my bloodstream the way it did and I'm now hooked, I'm talkin bout if I mysterious woke up with a mild form of amnesia I'd sware I was from da M cuz of the passion I have 4 this damn dance man, I can't shout da M out enough 4 this glorious blessing 2 da world of dance, I will 4eva be a die hard fan and connoisseur of da art ( oh yeah I can jook 2 ) however since I've never been 2 Memphis a day in my life my bucket list won't be complete til I get 2 go showcase my skills and bump wit dem kats mane, I'm single handedly responsible 4 puttin folks on game bout dis jookin shit in my town fool str8t like dat from Augusta Ga. baby holla at ya boy
Amazing documentary 🔥💯💯 Crunchy Black was an inspiration btw he’s what introduced me to the art of ballet🙌🏾
I'm from Alabama & I always wanted to learn how to do this lol..y'all be killin it😂💪
Most underrated shit ever. I'm from California and all i watch and listen to is memphis. I'm watching this after dicovering a lot of different music from memphis and one thing I noticed is there are a lot of classic tracks from memphis that have hardly any views, but new school shit that's trending got millions of millions of views. For example, and no disrespect to Yo Gotti, but I always heard that song "down in the dm's" yea it's good, but got sick of it real quick, just wasn't the kind of music I listen to. But I heard his earlier stuff which most people probably don't even know about and I wouldn't doubt if the people even like it just cuz these times we live in are so much different. Listen to "Lil Yo - Creepin" that's what i like. 22k views, "dj squeeky - Trick I'm from Da Mound" barely 1k views......it's literally mad stupid how slept on memphis shyt is......they got my full respect though and I do believe if more people knew about jookin, these youngsters who grow up seeing nothin but gang shit and who is supposed to be their peers doing all this stupid shit, they grow up following their foot steps, everyone trying to be in a gang nowadays, nobody dancing and singing they use auto tune bullshit fucking garbage. ☠
This only got 11k views😆😂😂
Respect 🙏🏼
Omg, cant wait to watch this later!!
that is what's up jookin been popping to me since 98 I'm from gallatin which is right outside Nashville and they still aint on it like they should be but keep doing y'all thing cause it's blowing up.positive young brothers and sisters doing y'all thing much respect and love from me... and fellow dancers
Here in ‘24.. jookin is definitely legendary and a core memory from my Memphis upbringing. These were the coolest dudes around imo😂 love my city
I love jookin, I grew up breakdancing and mixing sliding with popping, and it takes all those elements and wraps it up in a robust ground-up design language
From Chicago and this art is timeless and some if the most talented young men with this art of dance. Please never stop I'm an Ole head and I love it. I love our unique contributions to our culture 💜 so beautiful 👑💜💃🏾💜🌟💜
this is a great documentary. i didnt know some of them blew up like that. i didnt realize that as some of them in the tight rope video
Much love from the 202….Memphis jookin/Beat ya feet 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jookin has been international..Usher,Chris brown,Omarion…

iv been developing a martial art form from it. im from memphis
This is an extremely impressive documentary! The angles, editing, cuts, expression of ideas, and all while capturing the culture in such a positive and upbeat light, while giving each individual room to be themselves fully. I will definitely not forget the name Ellis Fowler! I am subscribed for sure now! :) much love ! Great work!
& on a personal note, Thank you so much for this piece of art. I grew up in this culture , and when I was about 17 , I got introduced to Grateful Dead festival culture , and I really see a huge parallel between Memphis underground culture and grateful dead underground culture. It’s like the gentleman said -it’s almost like church. -It’s spiritual! Thanks again! Cheers! 🙏🥂🌞
Love it
Cino, Trent, Ladia, Zeus?
The list is big!!!

The crowd buckin jumping and gangsta walkin in a circle at the club came from our indian ancestors dancin and chantin around a fire or in a circle at a pow-wow or rain dancin after smokin herbs...and also a spiritual connection with the Egyptians tuttin in Memphis in egypty on the walls in pyramids

There are some jookers who jook in skates.

Jesus could walk on water, but could he jook? that is the question.
"Probably robbing you" -funny but they was dead as serious
brother daniel its not murder it's life my good friend says dance is a prayer
i want to see more gino
Has there been a commercially based music video with featured contemporary singer having jookin' in any aspect as theme? If not, would love to see this developed. Respect to the art form!!!!!
Justin Timberlake is from Memphis and does a form of this in a few videos.
watch Arsenio hall episode: with mc hammer, doing and talking about gangster walking
anyone kno the backing track around18:00??
Bruh where can I get that book?
They need to patent "jookin" because I saw a lot of other cultures on video appropriating this same dance trying to put their name on it. They steal it and then say it's theirs.
Is there anyway to find out the names or titles of some of the instrumentals used in this video ?
Jonathan Henville depends on the track if you give me the timecode I can probably tell you
Ellis Fowler Do you know the instrumental at 43:30 and 44:41
Best move @ 35:00
hi. how can I have this book??
Ã'Dré Tevez BR www.upg-corp.com/project/the-
thanks... this is a great documentary... I hope I can visit Memphis one day.
I’m the best in the world, let me know who want to challenge for that title.
Pls translate in spanish
Put a Patt
I like the moves but young men gotta stop saying “it’s the streets or entertainment” we need young men to do more than dancing and gangin
No Tudy or Gino???? Sooooo Disrespectful....LOL
With whom can I talk about the translation of this film?
As long as people aren’t killing each other.
Thank yaw ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
