Written by Edith Ahurira on August 31, 2023
When they say that Amapiano is a lifestyle they imply mean its not just about the music, but it goes deep into the dancing and the fashion wear. When you see fellas dressed like this be assured that any time their fingers are pointing forward and the hips will be swinging to give unique moves.
The very first identifier is graphical T-shirts. It comes off as a way of expressing boldness or their ideas through the T-shirts they wear. For some reason that is what they will choose to buy at any given point in time. In most cases, they are over sized especially the men. This is meant to give them a certain sense of comfort and flexibility when pulling of the moves.
Sneakers. Every Amapiano dancer loves sneakers, Sneakers are a big part of pulling off the moves in a very flexible way. Not to mention the particular foot work in the dance moves. Such cant be done in any pair of shoes except sneakers.
Crop Tops: This may be a common identifier however when you think about it, ladies who dance Amapiano actually look cool when they are wearing crop tops. The imagery formed while pulling off the moves in a crop top is phenomenal.
Not everyone wearing crop tops loves dancing amapiano, but to quickly identify a lady who dances amapiano wears crop tops and loves braids. When you scroll through you will notice that most female amapiano dancers lo ne long braids. The reason is not known but for some reason, when they choose hairstyles, long braids or wigs is something they often choose.
The oversized sport pants are a culture regardless of the Gender, The ladies will often opt for shorts more specifically booty shorts however some people say its the fans of the Genre who prefer the booty shorts but most of the professional dancers prefer to wear oversized pants which looks cool especially when you see them pulling off the moves.
A baseball hat or bucket hat is the choice for accessories, Meanwhile, shades is not a thing for Amapiano dancers because to pull off these moves, you need to pull off that facial expression clearly, from the eyes to the teeth, you name it. One would say, Amapiano is an expression Every expression brings out the best impression of the dance move.
Bling is good but not just any bling, specifically wrist bands and not just any, those that are made of beads or and any metal. Glitter bling may not be a choice of jewelry for an Amapiano dancer but anything creative made of either wood steel or pearls is their choice.
