“This is a movie you have to see. House dancing is little known, but it is full of wit and bravura…”

Check Your Body at the Door - Website
Check Your Body at the Door is a film about remarkable underground House dancers and dancing in NYC’s golden decade, the 1990s. Featuring interviews and rare dance footage with legendary House dancers, the film follows a group of master free-stylists to the clubs, at their jobs and in their everyday lives. In discussing ideas and topics important them, the dancers – including the late Vogueing legend Willi Ninja — shape the script and narrative. Filmed on location and in a studio against a white background, in silhouette or in light pools, the one-hour documentary contextualizes a wide variety of House dance forms and answers: What did House dancing look like? Who were the dancers? Why did they dance?
