booty shake

Rear end wiggle

A booty shake is a dance move involving rapid shaking or bouncing of the buttocks, associated with hip-hop, reggae, and club dancing.

The term describes both the movement itself and performances featuring it: The music video was basically just booty shakes and strobe lights.

As a verb phrase, to shake one's booty means to dance enthusiastically.
