In the 90's it was salsa, after that came afrodance and now Dancehall is leading the way as the top trendy dance for the new decade.
Dancehall is 100% Caribbean style but its actual origin descends from West Africa and is over 500 years old. It has developed in to what we now called ’Dancehall’ and Jamaica is the top Dancehall country in the world. Originally heavily criticised because of its vulgarity in both words and movements it took a while for it to get accepted globally, however now the rest of the world is hooked and Dancehall is here to stay.
