Tutting

Tutting is a street dance style characterized by intricate, angular movements of the arms, hands, and fingers that create geometric shapes, often resembling the poses found in ancient Egyptian art (hence the name, referencing King Tutankhamun). Dancers use sharp, precise motions—such as right angles, boxes, and symmetrical patterns—to form visually striking sequences that often flow seamlessly from one position to another. Tutting emphasizes creativity, control, and illusion, with substyles like finger tutting focusing on smaller, more detailed movements. It’s frequently performed in hip-hop, popping, and freestyle battles, where dancers showcase their ability to combine rhythm, geometry, and storytelling through highly controlled body articulation.
