twerkers
Hip-thrusting dance performers
Twerkers are people who twerk—performing a dance move that involves thrusting the hips and shaking the buttocks in a rapid, rhythmic bouncing motion.
The term gained mainstream currency in the 2010s alongside the dance's popularity in hip-hop culture and viral videos.
The twerkers dominated the dance floor at the club.
Professional twerkers may perform at concerts, in music videos, or on social media platforms.
