How Do You Wine Dance?

Wine dancing or "The Dutty Wine" dance is a reggae dance that's inspired by Jamaican and West Indian music. Whether in Jamaica or just at a backyard barbecue, this is a craze which is sweeping the world and the dance is well worth learning so that next time you are at a party you know exactly what to do, even if you are not that good.
First of all, stand with a wide base and start moving your knees together and away from each other in a motion similar to the movements of a butterfly's wings flapping. Get a comfortable tempo for your knee flapping since this is the basis of the wine dance.
Squat down but keep your back straight as you do the dance. Begin to move your torso back and forth and to the side at a pace that's much slower and more controlled than the movement of your legs. Lean over so you're facing the ground and start to move your head in circles as the music speeds up. Change the motion around so you look from side to side and then up and down.
As you do this, be sure to keep the butterfly movement of your legs going. Drop into the splits suddenly if you can do it. If not, then drop down into a lower position as the music speeds up or simply do anything crazy and wild that's out of character with the rest of the dance. Immediately after you pull you unexpected move, however, continue to do the butterfly flapping motion and head turns.

There are 100s of ways to wine, the most basic form of wineing is a stationary stance were one simply moves there waist in a circular motion, this is usually done in large crowds were there is little room, like in a concert, or when one is to tired to do some real hard core carribean dancing and wineing. If you want to learn to wine, watch trinidadians do it, they invented it, and they invented soca music, witch is the main music that you wine to.  Slow wine is more sexual, dutty wine is party like a rockstar, you can see hundreds of different types of wineing, in the Caribean Carnival, toronto, Montreal, Brooklyn, Atlanta, Miami, and in 2010 Virgina will have a Caribean Carnival. But Trinidad is were it all started, and Trinidad is were you must go to see "the greatest show on earth."

Fah alyuh who don't know there is different styles of wineing in the Caribbean but wineing ORIGINATED in Trinidad and Tobago. Yes the wine could have been based off either the Indian or African culture but that’s only because TnT is a mixture of people derived from those countries. Not only was the dance  created in the country of Trinidad, but also the word. Furthermore for all d other dances that was created in any other country with word wine in it...just big up to d country that it came from sweet TNT.....we lead others follow Budoow.

Everyone on this is so ignorant.   The origin of wining is Africa, specifically West Africa.   Wining exists in the Caribbean islands because of the music and dance traditions that arrived with the slaves.   All of you would easily know this if you just read a book.   Seriously...just pick up a book and open it...it's amazing what you can learn!

Actually, the original answer is incorrect. That's like saying that whoever nailed the latest line-dancing craze invented it. While "dutty wine" is specific to the movements that go with that particular song, the act of wining has been around in soca culture since the beginning of time. I learned how to wine when I was 5 years old. That was 24 years ago - long before Dutty Wine ever came out. There are other songs with other variations of how to wine, such as "Dollar Wine".

You wine by moving your waist muscles and hips in a circular motion. There are several different types of wining. All deh Caribbean islands are good at wining, I am trinidadian but I think all Caribbean islands are just as good. It's really hard to decide which Caribbean culture does the best at wining, but from what I have seen from Trinidad (and you'll keep 4getting Tobago, not just Trinidad!!!) & Tobago, deh really can wine up deh place!!! Go Trini and Tobago!!! But anyway's that's how you wine, practice, practice, practice!!! :)

Wining is maining circular motion of the hips, waist and core. It did not ORIGINATE in Trinidad and Tobago . The dances we do now are reflections of our African ancestry. Also, YOU CANNOT compare Trinidadian and Jamaica whine on basis of better or worse because its two different style and techniques.  Trinis "pelt wais' ! We move manily our butt and waist .Jamaicans have a more controlled and mechanical waistline movement that involves above the waistline and the stomach area and their LEGS.

Go to trinidad not jamaica,they only good for reggae

By moving your waist.

I swear the origin originate of hip movement style dances derives from Africa?

HATERS ; trinidad is the best don't deny it ;D

Jamaica will mass up any Caribbean when it come to dancing I could tel I'm from there

It's really disheartening to read some of these ridiculous comments about the origin of wining wining originated in the island of TnT not Jamaica and it is the gyration of the waist either fast or slow to soca music. At least the people actually living in JA recognize that fact

Your face

All you got to do is move you butt and look in da Mirror

Jamaican a di bomb.Especially when we go an tip pan wi toe.Ha beat that trididad.You guys are behind.Jamaica rule

Jamaica's dance is very unique and requires a lot of energy. Apar from dutty wine there is also bubble,hot wuk, tic toc and much more.
Jama'can wine 2 di whorl"!!!!!

You all wrong wining came from chutney music and not soca east indian dances did a lot of winning and the african thought they could of made it look better by using soca music any way winning came from trinidad and not frigging jamacia dutty wine is not winning that is regge and jamacians don't wine.

Wine dance, also known as Dutty wine dance has been a craze all through last summer has become a cultural fad in Jamaica and overseas. It is a fast and difficult dance which originated in Jamaica. It is not possible for me to explain the origin or the way this dance is done, you can check it out on www.youtube.com. Just visit the website and enter Dutty wine dance in the search section. There are health concerns voiced by doctors about the Dutty wine dance, it also supposedly killed an 18 year old in Jamaica. It can cause serious muscle and neck injuries which can lead to much serious problems and even death, while doing the dance. There are many head swinging and neck rotations which are a key feature of the dance.

Skeen!! Jamaicans can wine better than Trinidadians!! I love both countries and I have been both places and Jamaicans have better music and better rhythm in thier hips .
