Learn Hip Hop Dance: Butterfly Dance

How to Dougie: bit.ly/DOUGIE
This move should give the impression of being a smooth, curling motion. When you first learn it, it might look robotic, but after enough practice, it will become more fluid.
Legs, Pelvis and Torso
1. Start with your knees and elbows bent. Roll your pelvis backward while straightening your legs, then lean your torso forward; this should be one smooth motion.
2. Let your torso and pelvis come back to a normal position, then bend your knees again, resetting the move. Continue practicing this move.
Knees
1. Start with your legs apart at shoulder width, knees and feet pointing slightly outward. Lift up onto the balls of your feet while turning your knees and feet inward, then drop your feet back down to rest flat on the floor.
2. To reset, open your knees and feet again. Continue practicing this move.
The Full Move
1. To combine the knees with the legs, pelvis and torso, start with your knees and elbows bent, pelvis rolled backward, torso sticking forward, feet and knees pointing inward. As you go up on the balls of your feet, straighten your legs and let your pelvis and torso come back to a normal position. When you come back down, land with your feet and knees pointing outward.
2. Go back up on the balls of your feet, straightening your legs while rolling your pelvis backward and your torso forward. Land with your feet and knees pointing inward, knees bent.

We were doing this in the early 80’s! Great memories ❤

[@rinisslime]

I was having trouble with this move, this was really helpful! There were clear instructions and your video was amazing. Thanks you! ❤️

[@JebusPrimeDLC]

so this is how the stress is reduced on the knees, using the hip instead of the knee to move the legs, other tutorials didn't really talk about this.

Slightly off topic it was a original Jamaican dancehall dance, circa 1992. It was adapted and popularized in the r&b and rap music scene from 1993 to 1994.

So did this come from a song or is it just a straight a dance move ?? I could have sworn it was a song .

[@carrybigspeaksoft1758]

[@sweethimbeere]

it will never look good if I do it! you have a extra pump by pushing your ass back, I don't get it at all. If I do it it just looks like pointing with my butt on someone. Damn what am I doing wrong?
