About
Twerking is a dance form commonly associated with bounce movement. It is characterized through rhythmic shaking of the butt, usually in a squatting position. It has been heavily enacted and mocked by the internet.
Origin
The music that characterizes twerking has been around since the 90’s, with the rise of many forms of rap and hip-hop. However, the term itself didn’t start gaining prominence until after the new millennium.
