Tutting (dance form)
Tutting is a street dance style used by funk and hip-hop dancers in choreography and freestyles .
It is often combined with techniques such as waving , popping and gliding . The style is derived from a dance move called King Tut and imitates the two-dimensional representation of people in Egyptian hieroglyphics . For this reason, when tutting, the arms are moved in rectangular shapes to the rhythm of the music. The dancer Mark Benson is considered a pioneer of the style.

In tutting, a distinction is made between outside tutting (positions in the head and shoulder area), inside tutting (positions in the torso area ), 3D tutting (breaking with the two-dimensional barriers of regular tuttings) and finger tutting (also under the Names known Diggits ). Typical positions in tutting are the hands clasped in front of the chest and the angled wrists and arms.
