Tired of the whole twerking craze? Yeah, so is Miley
Cyrus.
Now, the 21-year-old pop star has a "new" signature
dance move, and it's called the Nae Nae! Luckily for
all of us, Miley was more than happy to demonstrate
the Nae Nae when she dropped by the Australian
morning show Sunrise earlier this week!
"Twerking seems so yesterday," said TV presenter
David "Kochie" Koch.
"I'm glad you know that," Miley replied emphatically,
"because some people are living in the past!"
So what is "the new twerking," Kochie wanted to
know?
"It's called the Nae Nae," said Miley, jumping to her
feet, "and you have to do it! You go like this..."
From there, the "We Can't Stop" singer proceeded to
demonstrate, throwing one arm up in the air and--
well, you're better off watching for yourself (she
starts around 6:50 in the Sunrise clip above).
"I keep trying to start it at all my shows and nobody's
really doing it back at me," she lamented. "But you
guys have got it! I just don't think its make its way to
Australia yet!"
Miley admitted she didn't "really know" where the
Nae Nae got its name, saying, "My dancers--the L.A.
Bakers--they started doing it, and I'm like, 'What is
that?' So then I started doing that, which is kind of
what happened with the twerking, too."
It seems, however, the Atlanta dance group We Are
Toonz deserve credit for coming up with the Nae
Nae and its name. Per Billboard, the teenaged
quintet based the dance loosely on Martin
Lawrence's Sheneneh Jenkins character in his '90s
sitcom Martin. Group member CalLamar explained,
"It's really just based on a ratchet girl in the club
dancing kind of funny and the best girl to describe it
is Sheneneh from 'Martin.'"
If Miley's Nae Nae tutorial doesn't cut it for you, We
Are Toonz has an instructional (and slightly NSFW)
YouTube clip that breaks it down.
RIP, twerking!
