Loved this video - well done! glad to have someone share the passion

The man with a million moves. Very cool! I used to do one move that my elementary Phys Ed students liked. I don't know the name of it, but I put my hands on my knees with legs shoulder width apart and switched hands each time my knees came together. They also got a kick out of the "Curly Shuffle" from the 3 stooges.

[@berndbaumgarten7525]

I saw it under the names Bees/Crazy/Knocky Knees, cf. th-cam.com/video/H_eFPbkg_oM/w-d-xo.html

"Theater Owners Booking Association, or T.O.B.A., was the vaudeville circuit for African American performers in the 1920s and 1930s" - Wiki
T.O.B.A -"It was mostly in the Deep South. It had only black entertainers, and played to black audiences.
The TOBA theaters were owned by enterprising whites who saw an opportunity to put a theater in black neighborhoods, where the biggest names in Black America would appear." - Virtual Museum of the City of San Francisco, Reflections on Black History
