Disclosure: Dance Dispatches <\/em>received free class admission to write an open and honest dance class review about our experience learning dancehall with Natty JCDT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who knew that the Baby Shark<\/em> song had the potential to be cool? In Jamaica, locals jam out to the grating song that toddlers love \u2013 and manage to look super fly. If you haven\u2019t seen this particular dancehall video, you may be more familiar with Sean Paul\u2019s Dutty Rock<\/em> album (2002), which \u201claunched dancehall [from Jamaica] into the mainstream,\u201d according to this Guardian<\/a> interview \u2013 or even Justin Bieber\u2019s Sorry<\/em> track (2015), whose music video (choreographed by Parris Goebel) features a group of sassy ladies showing off a variety of fun dancehall moves. Dancehall music and dance, in various dilutions, can be found in many places; and we were so excited to gain a more authentic taste of dancehall in London with Natty JCDT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seriously, Jamaicans dance to a \u2018Baby Shark\u2019 remix. See the video below. Even instructor DHK Pandi played the song at Pineapple Studio\u2019s 40<\/a><\/em>th<\/a><\/em><\/sup> anniversary<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
