Hey Soul Strut, hey West Coast !

some time ago i saw a jerkin(yes, purely DANCE related ;)
it looks like it was filmed from a more distant perspective and the jerks get down on the street !
i think it was a hi quali camera that was used, maybe a DSLR !?

i know lame description, but anybody here can help to find that vid ?


also plz post any valid resources on the subject of Jerkin !

thx

    That's not Jerkin. Jerkin was an LA thing, not O-Town. Just watched 1 second but ^^^ looks like turfin to me.

    Is this it?







    Jerkin is all but dead unless you're 9. lol. The Rangers are cool tho, it's kinda their thing.

    the majority of it aint jerkin. this is what jerkin usually looks like:

    alot of emphasis on footwork

    I think that I was the only one in my small circle of friends who actually liked the Jerkin dance when it became known nationwide. I think it was because I used to break for a long time and was a fan of toprocking and heavy footwork that Jerkin seemed like something most b-boys would welcome. Well, I was wrong.

    The actual Jerk dance is when you go low wiggling your knees in an uneven stance.
