The popular "Dutty Wine" dance is being blamed for yesterday's death of an 18-year-old St. Catherine woman.
Tanisha Henry was attending a 'school uniform' party at Beacon Hill, Thompson Pen, about four o' clock Sunday morning when, while doing the popular dance, she collapsed and was rushed to the nearby Spanish Town Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
When The Gleaner checked with the institution, a representative said persons have for some time been warned of the dangers associated with the dance, but that no one seems to have taken heed.
In March, The Star reported warnings from <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: orange! important; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">doctors</SPAN> that the 'Dutty Wine' was a dangerous dance that could cause serious neck injury and lifelong pain.
Residents in shock
The dance, done mainly by women, involves the rapid rotation of the neck and posterior simultaneously.
