Everything about Dutty Wine totally explained
"Dutty Wine" (Dirty Wind) is a song by
dancehall artist
Tony Matterhorn, and the dance of the same name is usually performed by women. The dance was created by Jamaican dancer Dyema and popularized by herself and fellow dancers from
Montego Bay,
Jamaica. A few songs were made to accompany the dance by lessor known artists, such as Meritol, but Tony Matterhorn's version catapulted the dance into the mainstream both locally and internationally.
The dance 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 dance experienced a surge of popularity around the world, especially in
Jamaican communities in parts of the
United Kingdom and
North America. Some even have gone so far as to label it as "the dance craze" of
2006.
Some doctors have warned against performing the Dutty Wine, claiming it may cause serious muscle trauma, and ligament damage.

Controversy
On October 28th 2006 in
Spanish Town,
Jamaica an 18 year old girl by the name of
Tanisha Henry reportedly collapsed and died after performing in a Dutty Wine contest. If the dance itself caused her death, that remains to be confirmed.

There are now advocates for a ban on the dance.
