Dutty Wine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dutty Wine is a popular Jamaican dance usually performed by women. It involves moving your legs like a butterfly, whilst simultaneously rotating your neck and posterior. Sometimes more advanced dancers will also include the splits in their Dutty Wine. The Dutty Wine is currently experiencing a surge of popularity in the United Kingdom, with some even labeling it as "the dance craze" of 2006.
The Dutty Wine is generally performed to Dancehall style music. Most often a track by Tony Matterhorn is used, which carries the same name as the dance.
Some doctors have warned against performing the Dutty Wine, claiming it may cause serious muscle trauma, and ligament damage. [1]

[edit] Controversy
On October 28th 2006 in Spanish Town, Jamaica a 18 year old girl by the name of Taneisha Henry reportedly collapsed and died after performing in a Dutty Wine contest. If the dance itself caused her death, that remains to be verified. [2] There are now advocates for a ban on the dance.
[edit] Successor
The Dutty wine has been seen as reviving women in the Dancehall culture as most dances were formulated for men. The success of the dutty wine has seen creation of more female designed dances such as the "Wipe Out", "Room Ram" and the most popular Hot Wuk/Fuck which has been seen as the most likely successor to the dutty wine in the event of its passing.
