The popularity of dancehall has spawned dance moves that help to make parties and stage performances more energetic. Many dance moves seen in hip hop videos are actually variations of dancehall dances.
Dancehall is of Jamaican origin which started in the 70’s. It is the direct result of Dancehall Reggae music. This dance is a mixture of several styles (African dance, hip hop, jazz ...) advocating through Jamaican culture, freedom, sharing and respect for others.
Born in the streets, the Dancehall is constantly evolving and becoming more popular. Nowadays, thanks to artists such as Sean Paul and Rihanna, dancehall is found in many video clips becoming more feminized version of Hip Hop.
WHAT IS TWERKING:
Twerking is the newest type of dancing in which an individual, usually a female, dances to popular music in a sexy manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low squatting stance. The basic emphasis of this dance move is on your booty and accentuating the movement of your hips and body. Twerking has certainly become part of the dance culture today. Get in step with the newest trend and learn many ways to twerk on our upcoming Twerk Workshop.
What you need for class: comfortable clothes, indoor shoes (no outdoor footwear in the studio) and a water bottle is suggested.
