In Dancehall Queen, while there are no actual scenes with sex being shown, it is alluded to either by the characters beginning some form of carressing then the camera tends to cut away to another scene. There are visual references to sex in many of the positions that the dancers are in and also in the way they expose different parts of their bodies. In some scenes you have the male in front or behind the female and they move in a way that can be said to simulate some of the motions used during intercourse. Some of the females also wear underwear that is visible and generally covers the bare essentials. There is no full nudity in the film. However, the clothing worn by the dancers is generally less cloth than skin, for the females and tends to highlight the backside and vaginal areas-by being tight, short, having strategically placed holes or being of material that is translucent or transparent.

The protagonist sells alcohol and there is drinking of alcohol within the film, both within the dancehall setting and in other settings. There are visual and verbal references to beer and rum and coke.
