Miley Cyrus Twerk, Singer Reveals Where She Learned The Dance [VIDEO]
Miley Cyrus revealed where she learned how to do her famous twerk dance.
"I shot a film in New Orleans," she said during her Monday nterview with On Air With Ryan Seacrest. "That's where it began was I got obsessed with sissy bouncing and then it turned into twerking."
The film she referred to is So Undercover, which was released in 2012. When asked what "sissy bouncing" is, Cyrus replied, "It's a whole other form of twerk."
The We Can't Stop singer continued on to say, "That's where it started was New Orleans and then it turned out that I got kind of good at it and now I just can't stop."
Bounce, which has been around for about 20 years, is an energetic type of hip-hop music that originated in Louisiana.
In a July 2010 article, The New York Times defined it as "strictly party music." The report added the following:
"Its beat is relentlessly fast and its rap quotient tends much less toward introspection or pure braggadocio than toward a call-and-response relationship with its audience, a dynamic borrowed in equal measure from Mardi Gras Indian chants and from the dawn of hip-hop itself."
Cyrus garnered a lot of attention when she posted on March 20 a video of herself partaking in the bounce movement while wearing a unicorn onesie. She posted the video on her Facebook page.
During an earlier visit to the Ryan Seacrest show in March, Cyrus was also asked what exactly twerking is.
"Well, I mean I think I gave a pretty good definition if you just go to my Facebook page and click it, you will then see what twerking is," she said. "It's a lot of booty action."
The singer added that she is proud of her twerking skills.
"I could sing at the Grammys and I will always be bashed and I will always have haters, I haven't one bad comment about my twerk video," she said. "This is the first thing where I'm like 'alright, I can't sing, I can't act, I'm dumb, I'm a hillbilly but I can twerk so whatever.'"
