History of tutting

Tutting is a contemporary abstract interpretive street dance style modeled after Egyptian hieroglyphics. This dance was said to mimic the way the Egyptians would walk and move.


Tutting is highly regarded in both the electronic and popping communities for its technical depth and distinctiveness to the extent that a sufficiently dedicated member from either may use it as their dominant style and is occasionally referred to as a tutter. As such, tutters will incorporate popping or liquiding in their performance

One of the pioneers when it comes to posting youtube videos is Greg Irwin he posted some of the original finger fitness vides on youtube back in 2006.

What is a finger tut?!

Tutting has a variety of other names such as: Finger fitness, finger dance, finger tut, or digits

The term Tutting is derived from the name of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun. Tutting is performed with attention to the musics' rhythm by altering the position of the body and limbs in a synchronized, robotic manner.

Tutting is essentially a form of popping, with lots of hand flows, box shapes, and dynamic transformations. It's an extremely fun dance to do, though it does take a lot of practice.

It has been gaining popularity with young groups and performers posting their videos on youtube and social media.

Many of these people who post their videos onto youtube know this famous dancer as "JayFunk" Which is the name he goes by on his youtube videos. He has recently been apart of a recent Samsung galaxy cell phone commercial simply because of his ability to finger tut.
