When the Beat Drops

Celebrating Black Stories • 1h 27m

Directed by Jamal Sims • Documentary • 2018 • US • English
Featuring Anthony Davis

Drop into the electric and subversive underground dance scene known as bucking. As voguing exploded out of the ballroom scene of NYC, bucking was boldly pioneered in the clubs of the Deep South as a new form of self-expression. "When the Beat Drops" presents a fresh glimpse into the magnetic artistry and flair behind this emerging dance culture.
