Dancehall and ska dance steps

BBC Reggae website
Anyway, the BBC Reggae website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/features/reggae/ includes sections on the history, the artists and fittingly for this blog fashion and dance.
Head into the ragga section and read about how to do moves like The Jerry Springer and the Bogle. Reading about them not enough? Check out the clips of Neisha demonstrating some of the more popular moves. For those wanting to get into the fashion, there is a section for the gentleman and the ladies. The ladies wear little, but it is bold and the men could double as pimps when dressed up though often a more casual look is favoured.
If the older styles of ska and rocksteady are more favoured then the BBC section offers info on those as well. There are sections on how to dance to these styles too and the fashion, much more in tune with my tastes are featured on the site too.
Before finishing up I have to pay special mention to the pop reggae section where it seems they are poking the fun a little. A key item for the gentleman is a “tam hat with false dread locks attached.” That will pass you off as a Jamaican for sure! Or not…
