Butterfly dance

The butterfly dance is a dance move in which the dancer's legs move like butterfly wings. The move originated from the music genre hip-hop and is also commonly seen in reggae type music.[1] The dance is a female move but male individuals have been seen to execute the move.

This dance move originated in the 1970s.

Wing Dance

The Wing Dance is a common element in dancing. Along with the related Buck and Jig dances of African and Irish origin, the Wing appears and apparently applies to other various dances {and even poses} that bend, spread, twist, space and so on; it can also apply to arm & hand works where you can shape or move them in the same order or other. Along with the Butterfly, some examples are the Charleston, freestyle Leg Wobble/Bopping, Horse Stance, Billy Bounce, Popping, Diversion, Stanky Legg, PSY Gangnam Style Dance, Plié, "Dangerous Moves" and some Shuffles. Sometimes, similar dance moves could be subliminal to the mating ritual.[2] Similar shapes can be found in other forms of art and design.
