Join Jonathan as he teaches a tutting routine using a table!

Tutting evolved from hip hop dance, a style that came from inner city African American and Latino youth in the 1970’s as a form of expression and protest. The movement is inspired by the 2d images in Egyptian hieroglyphs and robotic movement. Other forms of dance that are included or have derived from hip hop: breakdancing, popping, locking, whacking, jazz funk, krumping, turfing, and more. Hip hop has become a worldwide phenomenon, inspiring people to dance.
