TUTTING Meaning and Definition

  1. Tutting is a dance form that originated in the West Coast of the United States in the late 1970s. It is closely associated with the hip-hop culture and is characterized by intricate hand movements and angles reminiscent of Egyptian hieroglyphs.

    In tutting, dancers use their fingers, wrists, and arms to create geometric shapes and patterns. These movements often include sharp angles, pops, isolations, and freezes, giving the appearance of a stop-motion animation. Tutt-ing can also be performed with the entire body, incorporating tutting movements into other dance styles like popping, locking, or breakdancing.

    Tutting requires a high level of precision, control, and coordination to execute the movements smoothly and with precision timing. Each movement is deliberate and calculated, often performed to the beat of the music. It is commonly performed as a freestyle dance, allowing dancers to express themselves creatively through their hand and arm movements.

    The term "tutting" is derived from the word "Tutankhamun," referring to the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, who was known for his iconic burial mask. The angular and symmetrical patterns found in ancient Egyptian art have influenced the style and aesthetic of tutting.

    Tutting has gained popularity worldwide for its visual appeal and versatility. It is often showcased in dance battles, performances, and music videos. Additionally, turers, or tutting dancers, may incorporate tutting into storytelling or choreography, adding a unique visual dimension to their performances.
