Follows a young Cuban girl in the 1930s as she strives to become a drummer, despite being continually reminded that only boys play the drums, and that there's never been a female drummer in Cuba. Includes note about Millo Castro Zaldarriaga, who inspired the story, and Anacaona, the all-girl dance band she formed with her sisters.

Description
Check Your Body at the Door is an exhaustive 20-year study of underground House dancing funded by the National Endowment of the Arts/ Dance Heritage Initiative and produced by dance critic and historian Sally Sommer, PhD. As a historical document, the film answers: What did House dancing look like? Who were the dancers? Why did they dance?
