Meet The High School Student Behind The 'Bronx Whine' Dance Craze
Local News
/ CBS New York
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- A dance craze has been spreading like crazy thanks to a local teenager who is heating things up in the Bronx.
As CBS 2's Cindy Hsu reported, the dance is called the Bronx Whine. The accompanying song was released just this week by Latin artist Farruko and Carlos Almonte, 16, known in the music world as rapper "BB Bronx."
BB Bronx - Bronx Whine ft. Farruko [Official Video] by Farruko on YouTubeThe video has been such a hit that Almonte and his classmates are dancing in the halls at Bronx Lighthouse Charter School in the South Bronx.
While the dance style came from Jamaica, Almonte said the Bronx Whine is making a huge comeback.
"They use to dance it like with their heads and stuff like that, but now, the Bronx Whine is now mainly like body parts -- using hands, feet, like that," Almonte said.
"BB Bronx" stands for "Baby Bronx," because Almonte was such a baby when he started freestyle rapping. He began honing his craft when he was just a kid in the Dominican Republic.
Almonte moved to the Bronx when he was 12 years old, and his rap video went viral.
Almonte's teachers were shocked to learn about his music career, because they know him as their straight-A student who is always studying.
"He is the hardest worker that I know," said Lighthouse Charter School English teacher Ali Heffner.
"He was still learning English, but by the end of the, year he was actually able to write, in English, a 10-page paper on Walt Whitman," added English teacher Jess Conway.
Almonte sometimes stays at school until 10 p.m. -- after basketball practice five days a week.
"One day, he actually got in trouble for sticking around the school just because he wanted to finish working on some extra assignments and keep the grades the way they were," said Lighthouse Charter School basketball coach Scottie Richards.
But Almonte said he values school over all else.
"School has always been first," he said. "Every time I try to do something, I know school's got to be first, then (other priorities.)"
But now that the Bronx Whine is making such a huge comeback, even Almonte's teachers have been lining up to learn.
And Almonte is hoping the craze will keep on growing.
While Almonte has been offered opportunities to leave school so he could spend more time pursuing music, he plans to graduate. And her teachers are hoping he will head to college before taking the stage full time.

Dance Facts and History
Dance is a form of art that is made by purposefully recreating selected sequences of human motion, which can be imbued with the values of aesthetic and symbolism that are acknowledged by both performers and observers from within the particular culture. The dance itself can be freeform or can have a predefined choreography that may or may not align with traditions of origin or historical period.
The dance can be performed to serve various functions (social, competitive,
ceremonial, martial, erotic…) but it also has two distinct forms – theatrical dance in which dancers perform for an audience,
and participatory social dance where dancing in a group is
encouraged to anyone.
Participatory dances are most commonly found at
weddings, social gatherings, and festivals, and they can be enjoyed with
folk music both alone or in a group (pairs, lines, chains or other forms).
Theatrical dance is known for having more elaborate choreography, planning, costume, scenery and other elements that make the entire production feel more professional. The performers of theatrical dance are usually professional “ virtuoso dancers”, who practice their craft over the years, and are often tasked to interpret the musical accompaniment with advanced dance moves or routines.

On August 2, the legendary American radio commentator, actor and voice artist Vin Scully died in his home in Los Angeles at the age of 95. This was reported by the press service of the Dodgers professional baseball club, with which Scully's career was inextricably linked with 1950 years since the team was still based in Brooklyn. The reason and circumstances are not specified.
Scully was born in the Bronx in 1927. As an actor, he made his debut in 1960 in the rather frivolous military comedy Wake Me When It's All Over. Vin Scully's voice-over, primarily as a narrator, has been featured in dozens of films and TV shows, from The X-Files to Till It's Boxed with Nicholson and Freeman.
Win's wife, Sandy, died last year. The artist is survived by five children, 21 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

The main thing today:
To be in time this summer: where to go if you want wine and dancing?
Summer is ending inexorably, but we also have good news - warm weather will last until September, which means there is still time to drink and dance on the capital's verandas. Where to go next weekend - says ELLE gastronomic critic.
Wine Market. Dancing»
The institution is title, and therefore the most obvious. Unlike other points of the network (there are 7 Bazarov in Moscow in total), dances here are taken seriously, they are arranged according to the schedule (Thursday-Friday), they are in favor of warming up with sparkling, and therefore the dances turn into rhythmic swaying of the hips rather than active body movements.
Cevicheria|Tartaria
The neighbors of the Wine Bazaar on Prechistenskaya embankment are older and wealthier people, with a more delicate taste for wine and a different attitude to life, but they are not alien to parties in the style of Ibiza clubs, which are held on Fridays on their white veranda.
Prosecco Bar
The bar on Pyatnitskaya dives into prosecco every weekend like it's the last time. And he does it without fail to the music. Instead of chairs and armchairs, there are benches-perches, so you definitely can’t sit still.
PR 11
Prosecco bar on Sretenka hosts parties with Vitalik Kozak and Eva Vostroknutova. If you know these names, you will understand that the fun here reaches its maximum degree of recklessness. And how do they manage to dance so wildly in such a tiny place?
Twins Wine Space
"Every Friday and Saturday we have a lot of fun, and all because DJs burst into our enogastronomic idyll." Well, how fun? It’s more like a pleasant relaxation, but you don’t need more in a place that is located in the St. Regis hotel and sells the most expensive wines in the world, albeit for the most ridiculous money by Moscow standards. The perfect place for a pre-party, by the way.
Bambule
A Berlin-inspired bar with an unnamed wine list, labeled instead.
Indeed, why memorize the names of biodynamic babies if it is not clear whether they will be available in a week, not only in Moscow, but in Russia in general? But you can try a lot of things, get to know the students of Victor Melamed, who repaints a fresco every week in a bar, and dance from the heart if she asks for it.
Strelka
The bar at Krasny Oktyabr used to be a Mecca for young creaks, but over time its fame has faded. This does not prevent the institution from throwing parties with a cool line-up, and for visitors to dance on them. It is true that wine or cocktails contribute more to this is an open question.
Ketch Up
24-hour bar-burger bar with DJs on Kuznetsky Most — what else do you need to be happy when you are 17 years old? In Ketch Up, wine is obviously secondary. And here is the dance in full growth. Parties until midnight on Thursday. On Fridays and Saturdays they burn until six in the morning.
Leveldva
Officially, this is an evening bar above the Ugolek restaurant, but in fact it is the best nightclub in Moscow.
