Contesting the origins of the booty hop!


So i had a little mirror moment yesterday and starting performing my cultural "Xhosa" dance called umxentso. While booty hopping my way to the traditional songs in my head, I realised that no man - Beyonce never came up the booty hop. We have been booty hopping our way as amaqhiyazana (Xhosa girl dancers) in all kinds of ceremonies back in the Eastern Cape. The booty hop is derived from the Xhosa traditional dance - thank you for giving it an english title Queen B!
