Sexy Judge Joanne of Citizen TV’s Sakata Gets Down to Twerking

The rhythmic gyrating of the lower fleshy extremities in a lascivious manner with the intent to elicit sexual arousal or laughter in ones intended audience. That’s Urban Dictionary’s definition of twerking. In 2013, it became the in-thing and now even Judge Joanne of Citizen TV’s Sakata is now on it.

The experienced dance coach, song writer, poet and author argues that twerking shouldn’t be condemned since it has been part of us (Africans). Posting on her blog, she contends, “Across the Continent of Africa there are numerous traditional dances where the focal points are the waist and but movement,” adding, “…gyrating or ‘twerking’ is common to Africans and Afro-Caribbean peoples all over the world.”

Twerking gained more popularity especially after Miley Cyrus twerked during MTV’s Video Music Awards. However, the sexy judge begs to differ maintaining, “The rhythmic, gyrating of a woman’s lower waist to the beat of a drum is a cultural expression of fertility, culture and celebration that existed before Miley Cyrus. Though the dances and the purpose of these lower-waist movements vary from culture to culture.”

Bashing opponents of twerking, the judge on East Africa’s greatest dance TV show declares, “There has never been an outcry for Africans to stop gyrating their waists for fear of corrupting the word’s youth.  These dances were, and in some communities still are an integral part of community life. Culture is sacred. Life is sacred. Celebrations and cultural festivals are sacred. This was the heart of the matter.  So what’s the deal with twerking?”
