Dancehall Queens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Dancehall Queen is a female celebrity in the musical genre called dancehall.[1][page needed] She is known for her charisma, latest dance moves, and sexy fashion sense. The tradition originated in Jamaican dancehall parties in the ghettos, seeking the best local female dancer. Each Jamaican parish holds a local dancehall queen competition annually, the most popular being the Dancehall Queen competition in Montego Bay.[citation needed]
