Jerkin

2009 West Coast fad dance. The root step is a backward samba basic step done at half speed - with miami dade jook styling. While Jerkin has many original moves, its foot work could be compared to a very basic version of NYC Get Lite (Lite Feet) mixed with Miami Dade style Jukin, wiggin, boppin & stickin. As the dance is evolving, new capoeira/ breaking ground moves are being added to the dance vocabulary.

NYC Get Lite dancers (Brooklyn hipsters) have responded with a new style called "gettin nerdy."

Other Jerkin definitions compare Jerkin to Jukin, but should be aware there are three main styles of Jukin: CHicago footworkin juke, Memphis gangsta walkin Juke, and Miami Dade Juke.
