Learn 7 Basic Dancehall Moves
I just love Dancehall Jam! It makes me feel so cool and makes me feel like I can take on the world. The Dancehall moves are so fun and have such memorable names. It seriously feels like I’m not working out when I take a Dancehall class. It goes by so fast and I sweat so much! If you’ve never tried it, you’re in for a treat.

Did you know that Dancehall is a popular genre of music in Jamaica? ?? The dancing came about when they wanted to help stage performances have more energy. Many popular Hip Hop moves are actually taken from dancehall so some of these moves might feel familiar and if not, you’ll definitely enjoy yourself. There’s nothing better than getting a one-on-one training with a professional and Zen is our go-to gal for Dancehall. She is so funny and so inspirational. She’s got spunk and her classes always end in sweatyness for days! You should definitely follow her Vegan adventures on insta.

This is a very popular Hip Hop move that you probably didn’t know came from Dancehall. You’re dipping your knee in the gap in between your legs one at a time. When you get the hang of this move, it’s really fun to let loose and groove to your own beat with your upper body. Do this for 5 minutes straight and believe me, you’ll feel the burn!
Our first dancehall move is the Frog Back.
This is all done in a squat position so you know you’ll be working your thighs and calves. There’s also an arm movement with it and the trick is to move the arm opposite the leg that’s moving. So sort of like walking, it’ll come natural.
Just like a clock, your hips will tick tock and let’s start in a clockwise motion. To slow things down a bit, there are four corners you should hit; front, right, back and left. Once you get used to the dancehall rhythm you can try to go a little faster and even try counter clockwise. And challenge yourself by squatting down lower and see how low you can go!
Not only was hip hop influenced by dancehall, twerk dance was also derived from Jamaican moves. This one is a really fun move because not only do you get to make that booty pop, you also incorporate your standing strength and try to walk backwards. A little trick to get your booty to really pop is to place your thumbs on your lower back muscle and try to push it.
Try it out and pop it, babe!
Ooh, we’re getting to the super fun moves! Here’s another dancehall move that will improve your standing strength, in a wide squat stance, you basically do the tick tock really fast while going down to the floor and back up. If you repeat this move a couple of times, you’ll feel a burn in your inner and outer thighs. This is a fun one to do while doing mundane chores like dusting or washing the dishes. Try it out for yourself!
I saved the best one for last! This is my personal fave, the Jump and Wine. You start in a squat position and jump up and go down doing the Dirty Wine! I have sooo much fun doing this move and jumping in different directions that I really don’t feel like I’m doing a workout, but after repeating it over and over, I definitely feel it in my legs and my calves. OH and I dare you not to smile while do this move.
This one’s for the kids! Dabbing is a trendy dancehall move for the kids and teens, so you’ll definitely be a hit when you master this move.
You don’t know it, but you already know half of this move. You bring your knee in just like in the Butterfly and then DAB. That’s right, we’re doing the dab.So you drop your head into your slanted bent arm while the opposite arm is raised straight in a parallel direction. It’s just like sneezing, but with style ?

Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Unruly was forced to migrate to the US at the age of five. Although he was raised here for most of his life, Unruly grew up in a Caribbean household located in the Bronx, New York. The reggae and dancehall culture has consistently been an integral part of his life. Being around other forced migrated Jamaicans, he constantly saw kids who danced and it began to capture his interest. In 2012, he along with three other friends formed a group called Divine Dancers.
From 2012-2015, Unruly and his team partied in local night clubs throughout NYC. It was through partying where he realized his real passion for dancing. In August of 2015, through the mentorship of older dancers, Unruly made the commitment to dedicate his life to dancing.
Later that year, his team merged with another local team to form DIVETTA.
In 2016, Unruly put dancing to the extreme forefront of his life. He officially signed with One Star Nation Entertainment Company. Through their help and social media marketing, he has quickly branded himself as one of the more serious dancers in New York. In August of that same year, Unruly received his first international booking. That experience affirmed to him that his efforts were actually to avail.
Since then, Unruly has embarked on a mission to establish himself as a choreographer in the dancehall industry. His biggest ambition is to help build a platform in NYC for dancehall so that other street dancers can profit from their talent.
