The Bogle Dance is a Jamaican-born dance move invented in the 1990s which involves the moving of one’s body in a longitudinal, ocean-wave motion while at the same time raising one's arms up and down, aiding the wave motion. The dance move was engineered and created by Gerald Levy, a reggae dancehall legend. Levy and his dance move are associated with the genres of reggae, dancehall, or Jamaican music which developed in the 1960s, but did not become popular until the 1980s.〔Norman Stolzoff, Wake the Town and Tell the People: Dancehall Culture in Jamaica〕 These original and relaxing genres of music involving the soft playing of instruments such as guitars, keyboards, bass percussion, and horns. The Bogle dance move became popular along with the acceptance of reggae and then Dancehall music and is now referred to as an “Old School” dance move, inferring that the move was invented awhile ago, or used by older people. The bogle dance move is more prevalent in reggae dance halls, a popular gathering place for dancing such as a club or ballroom. The dance move has now developed and branched off into other dances, which continue to be used in music videos such as Rihanna's 〔Admin. "Rihanna Get’s Her Bogle On!" Showbiz-i.com. 12 Feb. 2010. Web. 15 Dec. 2010. ==Music== The music to which the Bogle dance move is associated to is within the Reggae genre, specifically what is called dancehall music. Original reggae music developed from rocksteady music in the 1960s by the organ shuffle.〔May, Chris. "Various Artists | Rocksteady: The Roots Of Reggae." Jazz - AllAboutJazz.com. 1 Oct. 2009. Web. 14 Dec. 2010. 〕 The new revolution of rocksteady music was brought forth by Bunny Lee and was evident in more fast paced and rock-like songs. Songs that came from rocksteady include: "Say What You're Saying" (1967) by Clancy Eccles, "People Funny Boy" (1968) by Lee Scratch Perry, and The Pioneers 1967 hit single, "Long Shot Bus' Me Bet." 〔May, Chris. "Various Artists | Rocksteady: The Roots Of Reggae." Jazz - AllAboutJazz.com. 1 Oct. 2009. Web. 14 Dec. 2010. Other genres that influenced Reggae’s new sound were R&B, Dub, Toasting, and Ska: all of which contribute their own instruments, rhythm, or sound to the new dancehall reggae genre. With the instant global popularity of Bob Marley and Peter Tosh’s peaceful and soothing tunes, people started turning their heads towards Reggae because of songs such as “I Shot the Sheriff,” and “One Love.” 〔"The History of Jamaican Music: Part 6 - Global Village Idiot (UK)." The Latest World Music News and Interviews at Global Village Idiot (UK). 31 Oct. 2000. Web. 15 Dec. 2010. The turn from casually listening to reggae style music to dancing to reggae was brought forth in 1980 through Gerald Levy.〔Thompson, Dave (2002) "Reggae & Caribbean Music", Backbeat Books.〕 It is said that Mr. Levy would create moves while expressing himself on the dance floor and then taught people how to do it. Dancehall moves are known for being somewhat suggestive and sensual due to the movement of the hips and rolling of the body. Even though the new dance styles became popular in Jamaica fast, not until the 1990s was the new dancehall style of reggae music welcomed worldwide. Levy helped the crossover to dancing by making up his own sporadic, and exotic moves in which he was later known for. The dancing music, or dancehall music, grew to incorporate new beats and sounds like electronic music and sampling. Also this new, warped style of reggae periodically included a DJ rapping and singing to fast, quick tempo rhythms.〔Bradley, Lloyd. This Is Reggae Music:The Story Of Jamaica's Music. New York:Grove Press, 2001.〕 This concoction of music and dance quickly became a popular weekend hobby for the young people of Jamaica and the world. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bogle dance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
