A woman twerking in a contest. Twerking (/ËtwÉËrkÉªÅ/) is a type of dance in which an individual, usually female, moves to music in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low squatting stance. Twerking is also known as booty shaking, p-poppin or pussy-poppin, and bounce depending on the context.
When the word twerk burst into the global vocabulary of English a few years ago with reference to a dance involving thrusting movements of the bottom and hips, most accounts of its origin pointed in the same direction, to the New Orleans âbounceâ music scene of the 1990s, and in particular to a 1993 recording by DJ Jubilee, âJubilee Allâ.
