Dancehall dance steps DVD
June 9th 2006 06:13
I’ll be honest I haven’t seen the DVD, It’s All About Dancing, but having seen the trailer I really want to. You can see it too over at: It's All About Dancing Trailer. Though a completely legitimate DVD, I can’t help but laughing at an instructional video on reggae dancing set on the beaches of Jamaica. There should be more of this. I would say that only Jamaicans can get away with something like this, but they may not be the only ones. I could probably name a few people who couldn’t get away with.
Despite my comic perception of the DVD, it does seem to have some very good aspects to it. Dancehall dancing is a movement in itself in Jamaica and around the world, really very popular for punters. There are a huge array of dances, from the very basic to the very complex. This is consistent with the entire Jamaican music tradition. For example The Ska was a dance as was the rock steady. Never before have there been so many dancers though. The dancehall queen competition and the competitors are viewed almost as favourably as the dancehall stars.
This DVD will give you a starting point if you want to learn to dance to dancehall. There are classes, but why not just learn at home? The DVD does also contain a series of interviews with dancehall artists such as, as well as dancehall queens. That said this DVD is very much about the dancing. There are a few more clips of some dance moves at: http://www.itsallaboutdancing.net/files/clip_02.html
