Etymology
Twerk comes from recent African American slang and became popular in New Orleans 'bounce' music. A helpful way to remember it is to think of it as a mix of twist and work, meaning to 'shake' and 'move' your hips like you're 'working' the beat, so twerk is the rhythmic hip-shaking dance move.
