At a dance @ Fresh Fridayz in Jamaica, various members of Ravers Clavers got into a verbal altercation with a young man who was standing near the dancers. Apparently one of the members of The Ravers Clavers dancing fraternity bumped the young man, who responded violently saying, "Mine weh unnu dancers ah bloodklatt dance, becah you see if any one ah unnu touch we again, ah war inna dance tonight". Ding Dong, the leader of Ravers Clavers and Over Mars, stepped in and tried to cool down the bad vibez, but the angry youth refused to heed Ding Dong's words of peace and he then tried to swing at Ravers Clavers member, Strength Ravers, but he was blocked by Ding Dong and Over Mars.
This most recent attempt of physical violence against a dancer is seen as an attack on Dance Hall Reggae itself. The murders of Willie Haggart, Father Bogle, and most recently Ice, who coincidentally are all of Black Roses Crew, has and is continuing to put a dent in the positive direction of the movement of dancers who have given dance hall reggae a renewed spirit....!!! We hope that this isolated attack does not spread infectiously and create disease within the framework and over-all direction of Dance Hall Reggae.
