Twerking is no longer just a form of dance.
It has evolved into a form of exercise that you can take classes for in and outside of the United States.
The twerking business has become a burgeoning market in the midst of the craze surrounding the need and desire to successfully deliver the dance move. Violet Fame of Arizona, Lex Twerk Out of Los Angeles and Vixen Workout of Florida offer twerking classes while Twerk Out Workout of George will even bring the class to your girls night or bachelorette party to fulfill all your twerking needs, according to the publication Your Tango.
The art of twerking has become quite innovative as well.
There is a “Twerkshop” in Cleveland that takes twerking to a whole new different level.
“Today we’re going to be twerking on cars,” instructor Faith McFluff announced to a group of eight women trying to balance plastic cups on their lower backs, according to the publication Clevescene.
The idea behind the twerking classes is not only based on learning to twerk by the end of the four weeks, but also to be comfortable with one’s body.
“I hung out with other instructors from the studio. We swapped booty popping moves in an effort to make myself feel more comfortable with my own caboose. In middle school, a boy once said my butt looked like two pancakes in a fight. It probably did, due to bad posture,” stated McFluff.
McFluff has also introduced a different approach to twerking, which is commonly thought to be accomplished only by those with a sizable derriere.
“While I may joke about getting more ‘bounce per ounce’ and ‘more jiggle to your wiggle’, the real science to twerking is all based in yoga,” stated McFluff.
“My most basic twerking move is a series of Cat-Cow postures. It teaches the technique of undulating the spine in coordination with the breath. There are four types: up-and-down, side-to-side, circular, and half-cat-full-cow. If you add any of these motions to common yoga postures, like squat or child's pose, put your hands on your knees, and bam! You’re twerking!”
