You must admit that when we listen to our favorite music, we all have this urge of swaying in our seats to the rhythm of the song or better still, waking up and dancing to the beat. There are different kinds of music today and they all vary in tempo, rhythm, beat and many other aspects. For this reason, there are also varied dance styles for each category of music which include the Dutty wine dance style.
Although the system used in the naming of different dance styles is not quite clear, one thing is for sure. Tony Matterhorn’s song that started with the words ‘everything, Dutty Wine’ was the song from which inspiration was drawn for the naming of this dance style. This dance, mainly performed by women, involves moving the neck and posterior simultaneously while the legs follow a wobbly jig.
Due to the vigor involved in this dance, its relatively dangerous and can slightly harm the ligaments or dislocate the bones, but this has not deterred women especially the Jamaican from trying it. An eighteen year old girl was said to have died after performing in a dance contest but this should not be a cause for alarm, since nothing indicated that the death was as a result of the contest.
It is time for all those of you who have not tried this style to put on your dancing shoes and get on that floor. This is one really catchy dance style that you will never fell like stopping once you start on it. If you are a quitter, however, then the dutty wine is not a dance for you since for you to perfect it, you will require a lot of practice.
