Earliest Tap On Film- "The First African Americans to appear before a motion picture camera" Scene representing Southern plantation life before the Civil War.

Thomas Edison's 1894 "Pickaninny Dance" from The Passing Show, featuring Joe Rastus, Denny Tolliver, and Walter Wilkins, "the first African Americans to appear before a motion picture camera" performing a "jig and a breakdown."

Solo dancing (outside the context of the big circle dance) is known in various places as buck dance, flatfooting, hoedown, jigging, sure-footing, and stepping. The names vary in meaning, and dancers do not always agree on their use. The term "buck," as in buck dancing, is traceable to the West Indies. One source states that buck dancing was the earliest combination of the basic shuffle and tap steps performed to syncopated rhythms in which accents are placed not on the straight beat, as with the jigs, clogs, and other dances of European origin, but on the downbeat or offbeat, a style derived primarily from the rhythms of African tribal music. Buck dancing was popularized in America by minstrel performers in the late 19th century. Many folk festivals and fairs utilize dancing clubs or teams to perform both Buck and regular clogging for entertainment.

THE FILM: Shot by William Heise in the Black Maria Studio in West Orange, New Jersey, the catalog annotation describes this fifty-foot kinetoscope as a scene representing Southern plantation life before the Civil War. The men were members of Lucy Daly's Pickaninny troupe in The Passing Show, a farce comedy that had played at New York's Casino Roof Garden from May to August 1894. Rastus, Tolliver, and Wilkins were three in the group of eleven black male dancers forming Daly's troupe who were secured by the Edison Company to film a part of their act. These three young men played a trio of professional dancers engaged in the rivalrous camaraderie of a “buck challenge dance,” alternately performing for and accompanying each other.

Lying White Liberals, Buck Dancing Rappers In Dresses & Mexican Unity! - The LanceScurv Show

Frank Schaeffer (born August 3, 1952) is an American author, film director, screenwriter, and public speaker. He is the son of the late theologian and author Francis Schaeffer. He became a Hollywood film director and author, writing several internationally acclaimed novels depicting life in a strict evangelical household including Portofino, Zermatt, and Saving Grandma. While Schaeffer was a conservative, fundamentalist Christian in his youth, he has changed his views, becoming a liberal Democrat and a self-described progressive Christian. He currently lives north of Boston.

In this segment of The LanceScurv Show, Brother Hallah and yours truly break down the coded lingo that Liberals utilize on us in order to motivate us to do their political bidding because they’ve now convinced us that they understand our plight and are on our side. It’s the same blueprint that they’ve been using on us while ignoring our own need for Black Empowerment which is the only thing that we should be focusing on as all others look after their own first!

Afterward we played a clip of Deerfield Beach, Florida rapper G6 as he danced and rapped to a song of his that had him wearing a red dress as he performed. We spoke on the social engineering of our youth executed in social media which will have them acting out what they see to the detriment of their own natural development into being a fully matured woman or man. By whose hand is this sick content responsible? I know one thing, those high level so called Jews who benefit from our buffoonery in the music industry would never allow their offspring from being exploited in such a decadent mockery of a manner!
