Dagerring is a form of dance originating from Jamaica.
The dance incorporates dry sex, violence, physical abuse, and other forms of frantic movement.
Today the dance also involves having sex on the dance floor and treating women like sexual objects.
It is a more explicit version of grinding and perreo, and often features acrobatic stunts where one partner leaps from a height onto the other dance partner and then commences to engage in immoral exaggerated simulated sexual intercourse.
Such dance moves which degrades women and stimulates dancers, puting them in an immoral state of engaging in the act of having sex, derives it’s roots from voodoo dancing which was done in the honor of the unclean spirits, demonic energies and deities.
History:
The activity of “daggering” has been present in Jamaica’s dancehalls for many years, but only recently has the name of daggering become accepted.
Some argue that it’s roughly the equivalent of the Caribbean’s “cabin stabbing”, another style of music and dance.
Mojo magazine journalist and reggae historian David Katz attributes the recently gained popularity of daggering to a series of dancehall music videos and artists that promoted the style. Later on, controversial YouTube videos of people performing daggering would spread the trend worldwide.
Daggering is performed on Dancehall-music, although some artists have specifically created “daggering” music: Mr. Vegas, Aidonia, Major Lazer, Vybz Kartel, Popcaan, Mavado, RDX etc..
