Pick a fun, fast beat and start practicing! You can practice twerking slowly at first, to get the basic move down, and pick up your pace once you’re comfortable with it.
As you pop your booty out, you should lean forward approximately 45 degrees, shifting your weight to your toes. This is known as the “Miley Twerk”. If you want to be a bit less scandalous, then you don’t have to lean forward as much, and can keep your chest upright.
For the Miley Twerk, you should move your hips quickly from right to left; for a standard twerk, pop your booty up and down, arching and straightening your back to get the best results. And don’t worry if you don’t have a big booty. Anyone can rock this move! It’s all about isolating the lower half of your body. Try to keep the upper half of your body pretty stable. You can also switch it up with your hands, keeping them up in front of you, out at your sides, or back on your hips. Additionally, you can get even a bit lower the ground, placing your hands above your knees, with your fingers pointed toward each other and your wrists facing out, and shake your booty with your hands helping you get the most for your money. If you’re really going for it, add a Miley face or hand signal for good measure.
You need to have a lot of upper body strength and good coordination to pull this one off.
Your torso and upper body should essentially be in a handstand position. Your fingers should be facing away from you.
You should aim to be up there for thirty seconds, or maybe even a minute or the length of a short song, but remember that your hands and shoulders will get tired after a while. This is also a great opportunity for grabbing a wall twerking partner to join you as you show off those moves! Make sure to come down gracefully. Move your feet back down the wall, one at a time. You can continue doing the “hands on the ground” twerk, or just take a complete break from twerking for a little while until you’re ready to channel your inner-Miley again.
