>>The sexually provocative dancing featured in these competitions, has also infiltrated the more mainstream facets of dancehall entertainment, such as the music videos and dance trends. However, women jiggling and whining to the bass-line can cause offence. Some parents cry out against their children’s exposure to over-eroticized movements and sociological theorists have stated that this kind of dancing is an indication of a ‘crisis within the female’.<<


>>Popular reggae DJ Daddy Ernie chimed in on this debate with no hesitation: “One of the many appeals of Dancehall Queens is that these are, typically, ordinary women,” said the much-loved Choice FM DJ.
“These women are confident and the dancing is very much a case of ‘here I am, look at me’ than just blind slackness and vulgarity. They are about colourful self-expression and I don’t see anything wrong with that.” <<
