Elegance Bratton’s documentary “Move Ya Body,” which tracks both the artistic evolution of house music and its historical and sociopolitical impact, emerged from the unlikeliest of sources: Hillary Clinton.
Bratton and “Move Ya Body” producers Roger Ross Williams and Chester Algernal Gordon visited the IndieWire Studio at Sundance, presented by Dropbox, to discuss the origins of the film. Williams was approached by the former Secretary of State, a Chicago native with a deep passion for the city’s distinct brand of joyfully repetitive dance music. He then brought Bratton, who was eager for a fun “palette cleanser” after directing “The Inspection,” on board.
“The project was brought to me by Roger, and he was like ‘I’ve got this project with Hillary Clinton, because she loves house music,” Bratton said. “I didn’t know she was a house head!”
Williams was excited by the enthusiasm he felt from Clinton, who serves as an executive producer on the film alongside her daughter Chelsea through their production company HiddenLight. But he also came to the project with his own lifelong passion for house music.
“Hillary is from Chicago. So when I met Hillary, I said ‘No one is gonna believe that you’re a house music lover. This is great!'” Williams said.
Hillary who? That old thing?
Yeah, righhht…
And hot sauce. 🙄

It’s disco. It never died, just went underground.
Just the thought makes my stomach turn.
Probably closely related to “EDM”?? (”deadmau5”, etc.). Another one I only recently uncovered. I think I will stick to my local classic rock station.
:-) !!!
Well Hillary does like wearing what looks like a house coat out in public? Does that count as House?
Hitlery is enjoying herself too much.
If you didn’t think Hilliary was a Lesbian before......look at that picture!
WTH is house music???
IDK, maybe a couple of notches above elevator music?
House has a beat to it so you can dance and one song just flows into another by the club dj. If there are any lyrics they tend to be a few words that repeat.
Thanks...Ugh.
Pre-EDM. Here is a good example of house music from a fantastic DJ.

Now that’s some crazy shit there!
Notice how over the years, now you rarely see males and females dancing with each other?
I mean in the 70s, any guy knew, that even if he hated disco, he had to learn to dance if he wanted to get the chicks.
