Twerking

A dancer who lit her crotch on fire at a dance competition went viral this week, and we here at Townsquare Media had some pretty silly reactions to the video.

Mastodon's "The Motherload"  has been named one of the 25 Best Videos of 2014.

Twenty-two-year-old Jessica Vanessa used to be a kindergarten teaching assistant. She now has 2 million social media followers and makes a six-figure salary. So what changed? Jessica is really good at twerking, so she quit her teaching job and became a professional twerker.

You know the old joke about the stripper who's only dancing so she can pay her way through school? Well, this is pretty much the opposite of that.

Twerking seems to be as much a part of our lives these days as selfies and the Ice Bucket Challenge, but, really, there's a time and place for it. And this isn't it.
