Wing Dance
The Wing Dance is a common element in dancing. Along with the related Buck and Jig dances of African and Irish origin, the Wing appears and apparently applies to other various dances {and even poses} that bend, spread, twist, space and so on; it can also apply to arm & hand works where you can shape or move them in the same order or other. Along with the Butterfly, some examples are the Charleston, freestyle Leg Wobble/Bopping, Horse Stance, Billy Bounce, Popping, Diversion, Stanky Legg, PSY Gangnam Style Dance, Plié, "Dangerous Moves" and some Shuffles. Sometimes, similar dance moves could be subliminal to the mating ritual. Similar shapes can be found in other forms of art and design. 1
