I first saw the Baldwin hills Motown dances years ago and I come back every once in a while to watch because these kids make me smile. Great dancers and great attitudes and and they just make me so happy. ❤❤❤
Had to get my comment in. The show was fantastic. The children were awesome. I have two grandaughters, ages 8 and 13. I am sure they would love this. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry for being a bit late. I'm italian and I'm one of those that they call "Motown junkies". And this video made me so happy. Miss Malinda, let me say that your job on these kids' moves and routines was simply a.m.a.z.i.n.g. As a life long Temps' fan all that I can say is that you made David Ruffin come alive before my very eyes (well, via TH-cam). The accuracy on that little kid's moves was perfection. And such accuracy shows that you faced this teaching and choreographing experience with the respect it deserves, since I truly believe that the Temptations (and Motown) are a precious part of African Americans' modern culture and history. You put love in it, and it shows. Those performances were touching and fun. Pure joyful fun. I'm sure to say something that all Tempts and Motown fans would say: thank you. You did an incredible job for us to enjoy, but most of all you gave each of those really fab kids a precious chance to find themselves face to face with one of the (many!) reasons to be proud of being an African American. Ciao e grazie.
these kids really worked hard to put on this great show, The parents should be really proud of them. Great Job! keep up the good work - Bring them to NYC- Broadway
This is Awesome!!!!!! I graduated from Baldwin Hills Elementary School in 1976, i'm totally impressed with the talent here!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!!
This is totally awesome. It's obvious that the kids put work into it and it is indeed wonderful to see. Just as importantly, I'll bet that they also learned a lot about the musical contributions to multiple generations gifted by these original artists. Great job to them all!
Thank you so much for sharing these videos with the world! The kids did a fabulous job, and I hope they remember for years to come this experience. How wonderful; you all should be very proud!!
I had to send this amazing video to my mom in N.C. I live in Balto. MD. U video's give me chills watching they are fantastic. I've watched everyone this morning. I'm so very proud of the children and the hard work that they do. As a grandmother of 50+ yrs. it's hard getting children from in front of video games and their phones etc. and u have given them a positive direction and path to keep them headed towards greatness. You are phenomenal. God we need one of you in every city and state. Please keep the videos coming. We love them.
This whole show was UNBELIEVABLE!! The kids were amazing and there was obviously a whole lot of time put in by adults to make it all happen. BRAVO to all involved! Thank you so much for the entertainment - I hope you will continue to video future shows :)
I am just seeing this for the very first time almost a year later.. What A great bunch of kids All of them were FANTASTIC. absolutely FANTASTIC. I am giving them a big round of applause.
The beautiful heart behind this has made an impact on these kids that will last a life time. salute, salute, salute. all you arm chair journalists with your blogs should promoting this with a sizeable article.
Well thank you so much for the sincere compliment! I love dancing, I love Motown Music, I love children! What you see here is all of that rolled into one!
Malinda, this is phenomenal. The kids are shining so brightly! And their moves are so deftly executed, and with glee! I wish so many more kids could work with you. I'd like to learn the choreography too!
OMG, this was soooo amazing. I would absolutely love to "TRY" to replicate this amazing show at my school. Could I get more info about costumes and choreograph
Excellent!!! The only critque I have. (and this not on the kids but the choreography) The Jackson 5 didn't stand in a straight line and point and do the rubber neck. That's their trademark move.
Lesliiie , this is a public school in Los Angeles. a few of the student take dance in their spare time but more than half of them are just regular children with no experience who learned the choreography and danced with enthusiasm and passion. I think God gave me a gift of taking raw and organic talent and using it to create worthwhile performances and awesome memories. I'm like the seed planter. :-)
You truly are a seed planter!! Wow, I can't believe it's not a performing arts school! They did wonderfully and this Revue was fantastic! From the costumes to the routines...Well done to you and your children!! KEEP IT UP AND THANK YOU :)
Ive actualy watched this over 20 times..best children dance video i ever saw..i tip my hat to choleogapher i know i spelled wrong..and the hours upon hours those children practiced..to each and everyone of u...a sincere thank you..im gonna watch 30 more times.i love motown
Not only are all of the kids amazing dancers, but the choreography is amazing and the costumes are perfect! Your videos will definitely go on my list of things to watch when I need something to smile about :) Do you guys do public performances?

This should be REQUIRED in every school in America!
I completely agree with you, Ms. McDermott! I hope there will be more schools to adopt, adapt and/or add to this musical play.
Definitely! They would be honoring GOOD music!

Put MUSIC and DANCE BACK in the Schools!!!! I’m proud Baldwin Hills kept theirs. Excellent!!!!!
Now that's what I'm talking about! New generation honoring the old school! Truly breathtaking!
