“It was from the African sacred circle, that the first truly African American dance was born. The Ring Shout was a counter-clockwise, sacred circle dance that appears to have been done universally among African American bondsmen. ‘The Shout’, as it was known, used subdued stepping and hopping foot-work performed with a system of gesture, spirit possession, individualized sacred dancing and specific music, particularly vocal shouting. The music accompanying the Ring Shout was performed by the Shouters themselves. Singing, tapping sticks, hand claps, and foot stomps provided the musical backdrop.”
