Butterfly dance

The butterfly dance is a dance move in which the dancer's legs move like butterfly wings. The move originated from the music genre hip-hop and is also commonly seen in reggae type music.[1] The dance is a female move but male individuals have been seen to execute the move. The dance move apparently applies to other various dances that bend, spread, twist, stomp and so on. Some examples are the Leg Wobble, Horse Stance, Billy Bounce, and Happy Feet.

This dance move originated in the 1970s.
