Twerking is more than just a dance form – it's an empowering way to express yourself and find joy in movement. This energetic and at the same time sensual form of dance has already captured the hearts of many around the world, offering not only a fun way to exercise, but also a powerful channel for self-expression.
Päivi, the founder of Drop and Wave, also got crazy about twerking in 2016 - since then she has both practiced and guided new enthusiasts to the sport.
"The best moment of the beginner's work class is when the first dancer says out loud that "now my sport has been found""
What is twerking?
It is a dance form that focuses on the movements of the hips and lower body, combining rhythm, strength and agility into one package. Twerk has its roots in African-American and African dance, but since then, Twerk has also moved elsewhere and changed its form a bit.
When twerking at its best, an empowering space is created in the dance hall, where everyone can be exactly as they are. Expressing yourself through dance gives space for your own personality to shine and at the same time strengthens a body-friendly relationship with yourself. It helps to forget external pressures and focus on what the body can do and how great it looks.
Accessories for twerking
The Drop and Wave online store offers a complete selection of accessories and clothes that complement the twerker's style and help express themselves to the fullest.
For example, Bootyholders, i.e. thigh straps aka butt safety belts, bring support and security to movements while emphasizing the shapes of the lower body. In addition, the shop has twerk-themed earrings, which are the perfect way to complete the style and bring a touch of twerking into everyday life.
