Twerking ▸ Facts ▸ Comments ▸ News ▸ Videos
Twerking is a type of dance that emerged out of the bounce music scene of New Orleans in 1990, which has a broader origin among other types of booty dancing found among the African diaspora that derives from Bantu-speaking Africans of Central Africa. Individually performed chiefly but not exclusively by women, performers dance to popular music in a sexually provocative manner involving throwing or thrusting their hips back or shaking their buttocks, often in a low squatting stance. Twerking is part of a larger set of characteristic moves unique to the New Orleans style of hip-hop known as "bounce". Moves include "mixing", "exercising", the "bend over", the "shoulder hustle", "clapping", "booty clapping", "booty poppin", "the sleeper" and "the wild wood"βall recognized as booty shaking or bounce. Twerking is one among other types of choreographic gestures within bounce.
