Move Ya Body: The Birth Of House

Long before it hit the mainstream, house music pulsed through the walls of underground Chicago clubs like The Warehouse and The Power Plant, rising out of disco’s dust. In Move Ya Body: The Birth of House, director Elegance Bratton (The Inspection) traces the roots of this now-global sound, weaving rich archival footage and first-hand accounts to spotlight the Black, queer originators of a revolutionary musical movement. Telling the story of pioneering artists like Frankie Knuckles, Marshall Jefferson and Vince Lawrence, Move Ya Body forges a lively, celebratory social history of house, brimming with a standout selection of tracks and elevated by the voices of those who lived – and danced – it into being.
