Dancehall Queens

A Dancehall Queen is a female dancer known in the Dancehall[1] scene 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.
