Was twerking invented by someone that can't dance?

Can someone move my question to another topic

I just asked Google and it said this “Twerking was not invented by a single person; it has deep roots in West African Mapouka dance traditions and evolved through African-American culture, particularly the New Orleans bounce music scene, before gaining mainstream attention in the early 1990s and beyond. ”

So apparently it’s derived from a cultural dance which is interesting 🤔

So it's a African thing to shake your ass? Well that's probably the craziest thing I've heard all week 😂

[Apulu_backagain]

Tbh I thought it was a Latina or African thing because they twerk the best 😂

[Vevv123]

@Apulu_backagain Not Latina 🫠😂 we move hips, not furniture 😭

[Vevv123]

Oh wait I should probably not be making fun of it since it’s a cultural thing 🫠 my bad.

[Apulu_backagain]

Either way, I would sometimes want to learn how to drop it down by a professional twerker 😂

[Vevv123]

@Apulu_backagain Actually when I was in high school I had some hip hop dance classes and they don’t twerk, but they do similar smaller movements. 😄 nothing like the real thing though 😆

...
Ma'am, I guess it is a bit problematic to make teenage girls twerk 😭

[Vevv123]

@Apulu_backagain twerking yes, not something I’d recommend 😂

I think it comes from a tribal African dance

[Asker]

So I've heard, pretty wild stuff 😂

[DryGermanGuy]

I think it was inadvertently invented by a drug addict, shaking, because of cold turkey.

[Asker]

Lmao

[PrettyCrumblBb]

I think it comes from Africa and Africans can dance *inserts Instagram twerking sticker*

[Asker]

Call it the roundabout sticker 😂

[jazzy34]

The dance is sexual in nature.

[Asker]

Well yea but maybe it started like a joking around type of thing

[Anonymous]

It was invented by a ho.

[Asker]

Foreal?

[Anonymous]

LoL, good idea, yes, it's possible.

[Asker]

Probably started as a joke like they can't dance but they can move their ass and boom twerking was invented 💀

[Opinion Owner]

That's a valid theory.
