Twerk for adults

Twerk for adults

Twerk is a sexually provocative dance style in which the dancer shakes and bounces their bottom to popular music.
The word twerk is said to combine two English words, twist and jerk. Twerk has been labelled provocative and sexy, and maybe that's exactly why it's so popular.

History
This unusual dance was born in the 1990s on the streets of the lively American city of New Orleans, where it was originally called bounce. In 2000 it became part of hip hop shows, music videos and clips. Music stars carried the dance from the streets of New Orleans onto TV screens. The best-known person to twerk in public is Miley Cyrus.

Course description

The basics are a relaxed pelvis, a straight spine and strong legs. You can twerk standing or with bent knees, leaning forward, in a half squat or on your knees. Your feet should be turned out, knees and toes apart, and ideally you twerk in a half squat. You move your hips up and down and your bottom forwards and backwards. The dance is suitable for all ages.

A studio full of women in short tight shorts moving their bottoms. To many people it might look like training for a late-night bar show. But twerk is a modern dance that will help you tone your abdominal, back and above all glute muscles. With time and practice your twerking will get faster, your glutes will get stronger and your pelvis will loosen up. To master this dance properly you need patience and practice. This dance is for everyone – from young girls to mums. There are no limits!
