缘起：

1987年，俄国舞者及历史学家 Mura Dehn将为研究非裔美人社交舞发展与沿革所搜藏，于1900到1986年间在电影里出现的舞蹈影像，编辑为一纪录片出版。该记录片的名称为 The Spirit Moves。

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spirit_Moves 有对这个记录片和Mura Dehn详细的介绍。

在20世纪80年代末期，这个影片成为许多人第一次认识摇摆舞原始形态、许多人研究摇摆舞的历史与发展、许多人学习舞步和动作的重要参考。对于摇摆舞的复兴运动起到关键性的影响！同时也影响到今日舞者对摇摆舞的认知。

2016年。距离The Spirit Moves的出版已经30个年头了！The Spirit Moves里记录了1900 到1986的舞，那1986之后呢？

瑞典The Harlem Hot Shots 这个团队为了给以后的舞者留下记录，制作了When Rhythm Moves Us这个影片集，记录1986之后的舞风、著名编舞，一共10集。

Sharing "When Rhythm Moves Us" video clips

The Project：

In 1987, Russian dancer & dance historian Mura Dehn published her collections of African-American social dances on films between 1900 to 1986 to document the evolution of the dance. The documentary is called The Spirit Moves.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spirit_Moves has detailed introduction to the film and the producer.

During the Swing Dancing Revival in the late 80s, The Spirit Moves had become one of the major sources for people to study and learn steps and moves, to find out the original styels and, for many, to realize the existance and origin of swing dances.  The Spirit Moves has played a critical role in what swing dancing has become today!

Now in 2016, 30 years have passed since the publication of The Spirit Moves which covers the dances between 1900 to 1986. What about after 1986?

The Harlem Hot Shots decided it's time to leave something for the new generations of dancers by recording what have happened after 1986. They have produced 10 series of dances recording various of forms and important choreographed routines.
