=== Dances === The popularity of dancehall has spawned dance moves that help to make parties and stage performances more energetic. Dancing is an integral part of bass culture genres. As people felt the music in the crowded dancehall venues, they would do a variety of dances. Eventually, dancehall artists started to create songs that either invented new dances or formalized some moves done by dancehall goers. Many dance moves seen in hip hop videos are actually variations of dancehall dances. Examples of such dances are: "[[Like Glue]]", "[[Bogle dance|Bogle]]", "Whine & Dip", "Tek Weh Yuhself", "[[Whine Up]]", "Shake It With Shaun" (a mix of various genres), "Boosie Bounce", "Drive By", "Shovel It", "To Di World", "[[Dutty Wine]]", "Sweep", "Nuh Behavior", "Nuh Linga", "Skip to My Lou", "Gully Creepa", "[[Breakdancing]]" ,"Bad Man Forward Bad Man Pull Up", "Keeping it Jiggy", "Pon Di River", "One Drop", "Whine & Kotch", "Bubbling", "Tic Toc", "Willie Bounce", "Wacky Dip", "Screetchie", "One Vice" and "[[Daggering]]".<ref>Niaah, Stanley, ''DanceHall: From Slave Ship to Ghetto''(Ottawa: University of Ottawa Press, 2010)</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.inthemix.com.au/news/intl/42967/Spate_of_broken_penises_caused_by_dance_style_daggering |title=International News β Spate of broken penises caused by dance style "daggering" |website=Inthemix.com.au |access-date=2010-01-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100118224919/http://www.inthemix.com.au/news/intl/42967/Spate_of_broken_penises_caused_by_dance_style_daggering |archive-date=2010-01-18 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Schneider |first=Kate |url=http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,25580440-17102,00.html |title=Erotic "daggering" dance craze causing bodily harm β The Courier-Mail |website=News.com.au |date=2009-06-03 |access-date=2010-01-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090608161902/http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,25580440-17102,00.html |archive-date=2009-06-08 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.dancehall.tours |title=The Origins of Dancehall Reggae | Dancehall Reggae |website=Dancehall.tours |date=2009-08-17 |access-date=2010-01-07 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170708054910/https://www.dancehall.tours/ |archive-date=July 8, 2017 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/Lifestyle/Story/STIStory_385317.html |title=Dance craze causes bodily harm |website=Straitstimes.com |date=2009-06-03 |access-date=2010-01-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100218140732/http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking+News/Lifestyle/Story/STIStory_385317.html |archive-date=2010-02-18 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
