New Dance Moves A Replication From the 90's?



The latest and hottest dance moves such as "Tek Weh Yuself" "Rum Ram" and even "Stookie" could possibly be remakes from the late popular dancer Gerald Levy aka Bogle.

Dancer Ice who was a part of the "Black Roses Crew" with Bogle, reported to the Star that there are dancers who are now taking credit for dance moves that have been invented in the early 90's.

"Dem just a name ova a dance and say a fi dem own ... Then them come with 'stookie' and 'rum ram' and a Bogle dance wha did name 'round the world'. Mi nuh know if people nuh notice say 'rum ram' and 'stookie' a di same dance, is just dat wid 'rum ram' you lift up your foot," he told the Star.

But although the veteran dancers seem to be displeased with the new trend of copying dance moves and renaming it, it is evident that they fear many party goers won't seem to be able to tell the difference.

However, Taz, a dancer from the Timeless group, explained that even though the dance moves are the same people will know who should be accredited.

"If I build a dance on the circuit people will know. For instance, if Dr. Bird (a member of Timeless) build a dance called 'New York, New York' and people know about it and we go out and see someone doing it and calling it their own, the people will know is a lie," he reported.

Whatever the case, it is clearly a new trend that will definitely spark some heated disagreements within the dancing community. It should be interesting to see how it all plays out.
