VIDEO: New Dance Style – Brukwine. The Sexiest Workout Ever!

In this video you can see a whole lot of hot ladies dancing their heart out in a workout of a NYC class.

Once you start watching the video you will soon realize that this isn’t a regular dance or workout.

While it resembles different genres of dancing, it’s not really anything you know and that’s because it’s a new style and it’s called brukwine.

According to racked.com, high heels, bootie shorts, and a healthy amount of eyeliner are an appropriate uniform for attending Brukwine an NYC-based fitness routine that is gaining in popularity around the country.

Brukwine, a Caribbean-influenced workout featuring Dancehall and reggae music, combines cardio and dance, stressing waist and leg movements for epic sweating and toning results.

Brukwine was started in 2012 by Autavia (Tavia) Bailey and Tamara Marrow, two professional dancers with impressive resumes.

The duo met when touring with reggae giant Sean Paul for eight years (yes, you’ve seen them in his music videos), and they’ve also danced alongside talents like Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Missy Elliot, Whitney Houston and Rihanna.

They teach Brukwine classes at studios all over New York and travel the country giving Brukwine workshops.

“We taught our first class in Taiwan two years ago; we were brought out there to teach Dancehall and we thought, ‘let’s do something different’ so we did a sexier routine with heels,” Marrow told Racked at a New York City coffee shop.

“When we got back to New York three months later, we decided to really do this thing, so we named it Brukwine and started teaching it as a fitness class.”

Brukwine is a Jamaican term for “breaking out and letting loose,” and if there’s one thing you’ll learn in the class, it’s how to “wine your waist,” as Bailey refers to it.

Dubbed “the sexiest workout ever,” the girls mix Dancehall routines with their own signature choreography.

After a quick warm up, the class focuses on hip movements, vertical butt drops, and stomach pulses.

Both genders are welcome to attend, but classes are generally more geared towards women.

While heels are not mandatory, the girls recommend them to their students—although sneakers can help you achieve the same sweat levels, we assure you.

Many Brukwine “addicts,” as they call themselves, play along with Brukwine’s “shtick”—moments before class, you can find them strapping on their sneaker wedges and caking on makeup, since “you want to look sexy when your watching yourself move in the mirror the whole time,” Bailey explained.

Bailey and Marrow have big plans for their fitness movement.

With requests pouring in to start classes in cities like Atlanta, LA, and Toronto, the girls are starting to certify other dance teachers as Brukwine instructors so they can fully expand their business. So far, they’ve certified eight Brukewine “Gyals” to teach.

Starting any new business is hard, but fitness is certainly a crowded market, especially when it comes to the dance genre.

And yet Brukwine has built an impressive following, with fans driving to New York from as far as Philly to attend classes.

Bailey and Marrow suggest reserving spots online for their classes, as they are often sell out.
