Tutting is a form of hip-hop dancing based around the image of hieroglyphics where bodies are drawn with their joints making 90-degree angles. Visually, if you have never witnessed the move, it is similar to the Vogue and the Robot. Tutting is a simple move known for the variety of ways in which it can be performed. By practicing a few basic foundation points, you can apply the Tut to your freestyle dancing.- Stand straight and extend your arms at your sides, bending your wrists at a 90-degree angle either up or down.
- Bend your elbows up or down, keeping your wrists in the same position. You should begin to recognize where this dance got its name, as you will resemble a pyramid drawing.
- Move to the beat of your music and apply this basic idea to different patterns of raising and lowering your arms, flipping your wrists in the opposite direction as you see necessary.
- Feel a rhythm with your arms and wrists and begin incorporating sharp, angular moves with your legs and body. This is where the move begins to resemble robotic motion.
- Incorporate repetitious patterns, but break them up occasionally. The stop-and-go motion becomes part of the dance while you vary the angles and moves.
