Snap dance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The snap dance or as it is known in its area of origin "doin it" (as it is never refered to as Snap in the Atlanta area and much less in its area of origin, the westside), originated on the west side of Atlanta, Georgia, more specifically, the Bankhead neighborhood. It has become popularized by groups such as D4L, Dem Franchize Boys, Ying Yang Twins and even Lil Jon. However even some Atlanta based rappers such as T.I. have downed the dance deeming it as being "childish and for kids" and "you'll neva see a real playa in the club doin' that".
The basic idea is that dancers snap their fingers to the snap sound in music or to other musical accents while doing various basic dance moves with torso and arms in between. Footwork is minimal. Dancers can add more flair by "freezing" at the moment of snap.
