So yes there is a new dance craze called Jerking. No not "jerking off" but Jerking and no the dance does not involve jerkin off motions or anything such as.
Basically Jerkin' is a music/dance movement that was started in Los Angeles, CA. It can be compared to the "Hyphy Movement". Jerkin combines leg movements to upper body movements. It was first popularized by Long Beach/Los Angeles City High Schools. Some of These high schools including Westchester, Long Beach Poly, Fairfax, Pasadena, Cabrillo, Jordan, and more uploaded videos on YouTube that started a West Coast craze. Now it has gained nation wide attention reaching places such as Washington. Artists such as New Boyz, Cold Flamez, YG, Tay Pushaz, J Hawk have also aided in this dance movement more popular as they have made music that people jerk to.
Now it has definitely reached Florida where i first heard about it from a group of friends i had in High School who are now seniors and have a Dance Clique named Prep Kidz made a video of them jerking. I must admit at first i was skeptical about this because i figured it was just another move that was gonna come and go. However it grew on me and when my friends uploaded a 2nd video which seemed more put together i was intrigued. Furthermore popular choreographer J.R. Taylor uploaded a video of his class Jerkin and after watching i thought maybe there is more to this. However check it out. I have the video of my friends who all go to LAKE WEIR HIGH SCHOOL my alma mater and no im not going to make you famous as they think but they will get shout outs:
