“Twerking” aka “Booty Shaking” has become a worldwide phenomenon, if not obsession. Since the 1980’s, the Urban music scene in the USA has popularized this dance, bringing it to the mainstream. Since then, each generation has gifted their “Ode to the Derrière” with ever more impressive and technical dance tributes. What few people don’t know is that, like most good dance and music, the roots of the twerk lay deep in Africa. We can find similar pelvic dominated movements that result in the gyrating, popping and shaking of the posterior across North Africa as well as many cultures of Sub-Saharan Africa.
