Well Jay.....Punta is a VERY rythmic dance. It involves mostly the knees and the butt.
While I got plenty of butt.....my knees ain't so great.....LOL

I'm 40.....and consider myself to have a fair amount of rhythm.....so I've tried it before.

You start by putting on some punta music of course.....then stick out your butt.......feet hips width apart......knees slightly bent.....NOW....

Shuffle those feet in short forward steps.....while at the same time swinging your butt around in a circular motion. [Linked Image]

Kind of like rubbing your tummy and patting your head at the same time....LOL

Takes not only rhythm....but lots of coordination......or as Kathryn says.....lots-o-rum.....LOL

In the Southern parts of Belize.....during festival times....especially Garifuna Settlement celebration.....the people will do this dance all night long around a fire.....for hours...even days!!!

Only thing I've ever accomplished trying to do this fool dance is throwing my lower back out and making my knees sore as hell....LOL

Guess you really can't teach an old....um...dog....new tricks! [Linked Image]

Have Fun!
