Twerking to Beethoven

It’s been a good year for twerking. In August, pop singer Miley Cyrus performed a rather controversial dance at the MTV Video Music Awards that featured the ass-quaking dance move. Not long after, the verb was inducted into the Oxford Dictionary Online, which defines it as dancing “in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low, squatting stance.”

And now, Chicago burlesque performer Michelle L’Amour has set the web on fire with a twerking routine to Beethoven’s Fifth.
