The Gouyad break down
Yes! There is a particular way to Gouye. When you Gouye with someone, you’ll be whining in one of 2 circular motions. The first rotation is a figure-8 rotation. One of the first things you’ll learn in a dance class is how to move your hips in a figure 8 rotation. Gouyad ( or to Gouye ) is pretty much the same motion but with a partner.
YAYAD
Another proactive dance move is Yayad. This is a zouk flavored dance alternative to the afro-cultural whine where the hips are required to rotate. It was introduced to zouk as an alternative to Gouyad because most non-afro cultural dancers found it difficult to rotate their hips in a figure-8 motion. So Yayad was a side to side rock.
PLOGE
On the other hand, when you Ploge ( which literally means to plug) is a different approach. There’s a deeper level of intimacy and connection. This move is usually reserved for couples or singles looking to mingle. But in this dance, the knees of both parties are disabled due to the feet repositioning.
TRY IT!
Now you should have an idea of how to Gouye and you should have a better understanding of the different types of Gouyad dancing. When you get a chance, go to a Haitian club partner and try it out. Take someone with you that you don’t mind Gouyad dancing with. You can’t just Gouye with anyone if they don’t welcome it.
