The Berry Brothers, the sensational flash tap and acrobatics dance team that found fame in nightclubs, stage and film, comprised three blood brothers, Ananias, James, and Warren. Encouraged by their mother, they perfected their unique dance style from from the eccentric dancer Henry Wessels, who game them their only formal lessons. Their father, who was an extremely religious man and did not at first approve of their performance aspirations, eventually relented and taught them the Cake Walk and the Prancing Strut. In 1925, after the family made its way to the West Coast and settled in Hollywood, Ananias and James entered an amateur dance contest, billed as “A Miniature Williams and Walker.” Jimmy danced at parties given by such reigning silent movie stars as Mary Pickford and Clara Bow, and landed a job on the Our Gang comedies. They were a very acrobatic soft shoe dance trio. They had a dance off with the Nicholas Brothers in 1938 in the Cotton Club and by some accounts, they were more flashy but the Nicholas Brothers were better crowd pleasers overall. James Berry famously did his "butt spin", predecessor to the backspin. We can see him in The Spirit Moves documentary doing it during a Blues dance demonstration. It's not shocking that some of these flash dancers had hip problems later in life. The Brothers performed for over 30 years together were two of them unfortunately passed away before they were 55. Warren, the youngest, lived on until he was 74.
