Jerking

The compilation of four dancing moves happening to a song. The first dance move is called 'The Jerk', in which someone rocks to the right and left while progressively getting lower and twisting their legs. The second dance move is called 'The Reject' and is commonly mistaken for jerking, while jerking is all four of these moves combined. The Reject involves picking up one foot off the ground, hopping forward with the other and falling back onto that foot which was picked up, then repeating this cycle while switching feet and keeping your body in the same place. The third move is called 'The Dip' and only involves bending your knees slightly and possibly moving from side to side. This is a kind of filler move, so you can recover from Rejecting or Jerking and still maintain high swag levels. The fourth and most difficult move is 'The Pin Drop'. To do this you deliberately roll one of your ankles so you begin to fall in that direction, than you catch yourself with your other foot, placed behind your knee on the lead falling leg. Once you have fallen and caught yourself, you can finish the move by standing up and spinning simultaneously to come up to a regular standing position. Many people believe that only African Americans can jerk, but that is not true. Anyone can jerk, they just need to practice and have fun with it.

If you watch the music video 'Teach Me How to Jerk' By Audio Push, you will see many examples of jerking at its greatest.
