This is a video of "The Madison Time" done to the tune, "The Madison Time" by Ray Bryant and his Combo.

This is from a series of videos from the 2012 Chicago SummerDance Festival evening of Thursday, August 10, 2012, where Paul Collins (Ethnic Dance Chicago) facilitated hundreds of people through an evening of popular dances from the 1950's and 1960's.

I learned The Madison at rehearsals for a show put on by students of Wendell Philips High School and Elementary Schools, directed by Ed Szkirpan and James Collins. The show was a huge success and the Master of Ceremonies was a local rising star stand-up comedian by the name of Dick Gregory.

Other Dances done that evening included: The Hully Gully (Little Black Book), The Stroll, The Twist, The Roach, Reggae Cowboy (Respect), Pata Pata (South Africa), Cha Cha Cha (Cuba), Damat Halayi (Turkey), The Electric Slide

Musicians included Ray Bryant (piano), Buddy Tate (Tenor), Harry "Sweets" Edison (Trumpet), Urbie Green (Trombone), Tommy Bryant (Bass), Bill English (Drums), and dance cues by Baltimore DJ, Eddie Morgan.
