Benefits of Twerking
Twerking is a very challenging form of dance that requires a lot of strength and flexibility. If you are not a strong poler or dancer, you should avoid this dance form for safety reasons.
If you are a beginner, try practicing slow twerking first before moving on to fast twerking. This will help you to develop proper posture and grip while performing twerking stunts on the pole or floor.
You can also combine twerking with some of the common poling drills like slide-downs, climb-ups and pole swings to heat up your skills. However, you should take note that you must practice in a safe environment like a nightclub before trying out the twerking stunts on stage.
