Dancehall dancing is a huge part of the Jamaican club scene if at a dancehall club.The video Manda posted just looked like it had one or two people joining in with the dancing but in the nightclubs you can see a lot of people doing variations of the dance!Fora lot of dancehall songs there is a matching pre-rehearsed dance and if it is a well loved track sometimes the whole room will break out into the dance routine.It is fun to watch.Dancehall dancing has been present for many years unfortunately there were two dances which were dangerous one was the dutty wine and the other was what was posted above.
As for the girl on the beach that video is old and I have no idea of what or why she was treated that way.
All I can say is that the whole dancehall vibe is massive and it is great fun and entertainment and very energetic!A lot of the dances require a lot of energy and a lot of practise is put into some of those pre rehearsed routines.The outfits can sometimes be amazing too.
If you have never seen it before just look up jamaica dancehall queen on youtube there are thousands of video clips.Dancehall and dancehall queens have a massive following in Jamaica.Special events are held to see who is the best dancehall queen.People sign up from all over the world and Japan actually took over a year or two as the Japanese people went crazy for dancehall.They loved it,copied it entered all the competitions and many came away with prizes.
Tracy has said it is best to watch and not participate.That was ONE incident and we have no idea why or how that happens,crap happens sometimes.
I can say I have lost count of how many hundreds of Jamaican dancehall parties I have attended and I have NEVER witnessed any one having anything but fun.
Oh and by the way if you decide to wear tight shorts or bikini bottoms and your booty goes in the air-yes probably expect a dagga dagga!They just do the dance though.Thats how it goes.You do not have to put your booty in the air to join in the fun though!
Dancehall music is BIG in Jamaica it comes from Jamaica.Jamaica is where the dancehall singers and dancers come from.If you like dancehall Jamaica is the best place to experience the singers , the dancers, the concerts, the parties.
The scene is HUGE and one of the draws to Jamaica for people who like the scene.You cannot find the party vibe anywhere else in the world like that.Trust me I went looking!
