Join Regelle Thomas, founder of Soca Tworkout Fitness to hear a little bit about where Twerking comes from and learn a few moves!
Twerking has a long and windin' history picking up many different expressions through time and different cultures. Contextualized as a black Atlantic art form, twerk appears the descendant of sacred dances in the worship of Afro-diasporic deites in Brazil, Cuba and Haiti. In many cases some of the movements of twerk enable dancers to communicate sexual agency as a performance for “desirability, sexual self-sufficiency and economic independence".
