Edited by Azizi Powell

Latest update -August 17, 2026

This is Part III of a three part pancocojams series that showcases some YouTube video examples of African American (Soul) line dances that were choreographed for music that wasn't recorded for line dancing.

The videos in this pancocojams series focus on the line dance routines more than on the record itself.

Most of these showcased line dances have multiple YouTube video examples.

From https://www.facebook.com/fb-answers/how-did-the-ooh-wee-dance-trend-start/
"
The Ooh Wee dance trend started as a line dance created by Jero "KOLD" Green to the Ooh Wee Remix by Ms. Yanni featuring Bruce Billups. It also spread through the #OoohWeeChallenge on social media, where people share their own versions of the dance.

The most direct origin comes from a line dance called "Ooh Wee" choreographed by Jero "KOLD" Green. The dance is set to the Ooh Wee Remix music by Ms. Yanni featuring Bruce Billups, and it's been shared as a fun, coordinated group activity on the dance floor."

  1. This pancocojams series was so much easier to do than the one on the soul line dances that had the most YouTube views within a certain day.

    (Yes, I know that I haven't added the information about the music that was featured for most of those videos in this particular series. I haven't forgotten and will add that info ASAP.

    But I just wanted to share that this particular post-Part III of this series- is by far my favorite one. I realize I needed to watch something light weight and enjoyable to take a break from the awful news that is happening in the USA and throughout the world now and for long time.

    1. I know that this isn't even a tip of the iceberg when it comes to African American (soul) line dance videos, but I'm going to move on from that subject for a while.

      I encourage you to also make a compilation of YouTube videos on this performance art or other performance arts.

      It's good for the soul!
