The Tranky Doo: Spirit Moves

In the documentary "The Spirit Moves" Al Minns, Leon James, and Pepsi Bethal share The Tranky Doo. Tranky Doo was a Jazz performer in New York with a signature choreography which starts off this routine. Then; Al, Leon, and Pepsi took off and added a great array of Jazz steps/sequences to share for the filming. Frankie Manning also did a version, and we will get to that in a future workshop!
