SO YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW TO SLOW DANCE?
Use our simple and easy to follow 15 step introduction to SlowSexy
dancing and get ready for the SlowSexy launch night.
1. BASIC 'WINE' (THE HIP WIND)
We start with the basic 'Hip Wind' commonly known as 'The Wine'.
2. HIP ISOLATION
An advanced form of 'The Wine' where the hips are revovolved, swayed,
gyrated, rolled or thrust in a sexually evocative manner while the rest of
the body is kept as still as possible. A display technique often used to
demonstrate agility and employed as an effective means of attracting
attention on the dancefloor.
3. LIQUIDING
Liquiding takes the basic moves of body popping and liquifies them into
one continuous smooth movement. The slower and less 'robotic' moves
are often introduced into Slow Sexy Freestyle [See below].
4. SLOW SEXY FREESTYLE!
An extremely sinuous and sexy dance where the head and arms are
kept virtually still while the lower body moves in slow motion to the bass
and rythmns of the music (here followed by the classic 'Booty Shake').
Its getting hot in here!
5. SLOW SEXY STREET STYLE!
SlowSexy... In the imortal words of Soul ll Soul 'It's all about expression'...
expressing the passion of the soul and music. In this clip the dancer holds
our attention by juxtaposing fluid, sensuous body movements with sharp
precision twists and attitude gestures.
6. FREESTYLE WINING
In the demostration clip below the dancer expertly shows how a variety of
dance styles can be brought together to create an eclectic 'Wine' routine.
Here he interweaves 'Crumping', 'Rave Dance', 'Body Popping', 'Ragga
Style', 'Vogueing', 'Jump-Up' and 'Skanking'.
Warning: This video contains video effects from a 1970's Top Of The Pops
video mixing desk and may be harmful to some viewers.
7. SQUAT GYRATION
The sole purpose of this move is to strengthen the thigh muscles and develop
pelvic agility in preparation for a long session on the SlowSexy dancefloor.
8. JIGGY WINE
An advanced variation of the basic 'Wine' where the hip movements
follow the faster cross rythmns of the high hat and percussion. The
faster oscillation of the hip area is then expertly interwoven into the
flowing (and slower) movement of the 'Hip Wine'.
Note: This performer also demonstrates how the 'Squat Gyration'
[Above] can be introduced into into the 'Jiggy Wine' routine.
9. DUTTY WINE
An elaboration of the 'Hip Wine' where the head and shoulders are rotated intermittently in a large circular roll and the knees are opened wide in a
flapping motion.
Dutty Wine Shoulder Stand and 'Bouncing' Splits
Advanced 'Dutty Winers' punctuate their dance with squats, bouncing splits and shoulder stands. The purpose of the shoulder stand is to show off the ability to perform the 'Hip Isolation' move [See above] while balanced upside down. The next video demonstrates the 'Dutty Wine' splits and 'Dutty Wine' shoulder stand.Note: 'Dutty Wine' literally means 'Dirty Wind' [i.e. the act of eroticly
winding the hips on the dancefloor to mimmmic the movements and
positions employed during passionate love-making]. The dance was
popularised by the track "Dutty Wine" by Tony Matterhorn.
10. BELLY WINE
Here the classical movement of eastern dance is combined with the Jamaican
'Wine' to produce an exotic twist to the ancient art of belly dancing.
11. HIP ROLL
A slight variation of the 'Belly Wine' where the muscles of the stomach
and abdomen are undulated while simulteneously rolling the hips.
Tip: For best viewing effect play both of the videos below simulteneously.
12. THE SHOULDER WAVE
Slow Jam music allows dancers to incorporate pulsating fluid movements
(or waves) into their freestyle dance routines in this case expressed as a
repeated fluid wave travelling through the shoulders.
13. DA BOOTY SHAKE
A dance in which the muscles of the gluteous maximus are shaken
with gusto and enthusiasm.
14. ADVANCED WINE
The clip below demonstrates advanced wining where syncopation is introduced into the flow of the winding motion.
15. NOW YOU'RE READY TO DO 'THE FUSE'!
Right... you've learned all the dances above. The next step is to find a
dance that utilises all your new skills. The clip below shows you how to fuse
'The Basic Wine', 'Hip Isolation', 'Liquiding', 'Freestyle', 'Squat Gyration',
'The Jiggy Wine', 'The Dutty Wine', 'The Belly Wine', 'The Shoulder Wave',
'The Hip Roll', 'Da Booty Shake', and 'The Arm Wave' into one simple and
easy to learn dance style... Now you're ready for SlowSexy !
