Twerking is a frequently used slang word among young African Americans. To twerk is to dance sexually, grinding oneself against the partner. Moving, shaking that ass...Twerking was introduced into the hip-hop culture as a dance, by way of the New Orleans bounce music scene. In 1993, DJ Jubilee recorded the dance tune, "Do The Jubilee All," in which he chanted "twerk baby, twerk baby, twerk, twerk, twerk." A video for this song was also released, which increased the popularity of twerking. In 1995 Cheeky Blakk (New Orleans-based rapper) recorded "Twerk Something", which was also a dance song dedicated to twerking, presented in a call-and-response fashion. In 1997 DJ Jubilee recorded "Get Ready, Ready", another bounce classic, in which he encouraged listeners to "twerk it!"A great amount of credit for the expansion of twerking outside of the city of New Orleans can be given to the strip clubs of Houston and Atlanta. In 2011 The Twerk Team was mentioned in the song "Round of Applause" by Atlanta-based rapper Waka Flocka Flame featuring Drake: "Bounce that ass, shake that ass like the Twerk Team". Bandz A Make Her Dance rapper Juicy J has a line "start twerking when she hear her song", while French Montana questions the ability of a girl to twerk by asking "What you twerkin' with" in his song "Pop That" featuring Drake, Lil Wayne, and Rick Ross. This song, along with "Express Yourself" by Nicky Da B & Diplo, "made twerking the most popular dance move since the Dougie". Rapper Lady released a song called "Twerk".In 2013, 33 students from Scripps Ranch High School were suspended for making a twerking video on school grounds and using school equipment that was later uploaded to YouTubetwerk team
