One of the popular dance moves nowadays is twerking. Thanks to Miley Cyrus for introducing and make it really controversial on purpose. To define it, twerking is dancing in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low, squatting stance. It’s plainly sexy dancing, mostly patronized by women. Some attempted to justify that twerking as a healthy interest and can burn your calories out. But obviously, all kinds of dancing can make you sweat as long as you move your body with the music.
