Dutty Wine?!?

Question

What exactly is it and how did it start?

I know it's a type of dance in Jamaican dance halls.

Also, I read a girl died from doing it? HOW?

Answer 1

like its been said yes a girl did die from it cause she didnt warm up before, cause it puts alot of stress on the body. if you wanna see dutty wining, go to you tube and search for tony matterhorn - dutty wine. the girls throughout are doing this dance, and part of the song is basically instructions.
im pretty good at this dance, but i get alot of bad looks cause caucasian girls arent "supposed to do it", black girls dont seem to like it. and BEFORE anyone accuses me of being racist i am not, 99% of my friends are black, my bf is black, i have nothing against black people, I AM JUST STATING A TRUE AND VALID POINT. if you look at videos on these contests, people were talkin bad cause one year a japanese girl won.

Answer 2

"Dutty Wine" (Dirty Wind) is a song by dancehall artist Tony Matterhorn, and the dance of the same name is 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 experienced a surge of popularity around the world, especially in Jamaican communities in parts of the United Kingdom and North America. Some even labelled it as "the dance craze" of 2006.

The Dutty Wine is generally performed to Dancehall style music.

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 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 verified. [2] There are now advocates for a ban on the dance

Big c and p!!!

SPANISH TOWN, St. Catherine:

The popular "Dutty Wine" dance is being blamed for yesterday's death of an 18-year-old St. Catherine woman.

Tanisha Henry was attending a 'school uniform' party at Beacon Hill, Thompson Pen, about four o' clock Sunday morning when, while doing the popular dance, she collapsed and was rushed to the nearby Spanish Town Hospital where she was pronounced dead.

When The Gleaner checked with the institution, a representative said persons have for some time been warned of the dangers associated with the dance, but that no one seems to have taken heed.

In March, The Star reported warnings from doctors that the 'Dutty Wine' was a dangerous dance that could cause serious neck injury and lifelong pain.

Residents in shock

The dance, done mainly by women, involves the rapid rotation of the neck and posterior simultaneously.

"If you throw the body in extreme positions, as in the case of the 'Dutty Wine', you could have muscle trauma, damage to your ligaments and shifting in bones," Dr. Jephthath Ford, general practitioner, told The Star.

In the Beacon Hill area, where yesterday's incident occurred, several persons said they were shocked by what had happened.

"It is a warning to young people that dem mus stop du de Dutty Wine," said one woman who called the incident a curse on the land. "Is like a demon sen' from de pit a hell dat is taking the lives of the youth even before dem have time to repent."

Yesterday Tanisha's mother, Linda Henry, said she was still in shock.

"I was at home about 4 o'clock when I feel like something is wrong with Tanisha as I did not see her when she came from work last night," she said. "About half an hour after, I got the news that she was dancing Dutty Wine and collapse."

Ms. Henry said that, on going to the hospital, her worst fear was realised when the doctor told her that her daughter was dead as a result of the dance. She added that it was a very sad moment and that Tanisha, who works at a pharmacy, was her last child. She said she did not know how the family would cope with her death.

The Spanish Town police are conducting a routine investigation into the matter.

Answer 6

someone died from doing it, lol.. I'm laughing because i dont see how its possible.

well take the words apart;
dutty = dirty. (but they mean this in a sexual way),
wine = wining your body (dancing), also in a sexual way.

therefore a dutty wine is dancing in a sexual way by wining your body. you can do it alone or with a guy.

Answer 7

I love doing the dutty wine! I'm Jamaican and Dominican and I do it all the time to dancehall and some good reegaeton. Us native carribbean girls do it the best.
