TWERKING UP A STORMTwerking teen sparks furious debate after shaking up TV Talent show with an outrageous dance routine cheered on by her dad

Sara Seifert, 18, from Vukovar, Croatia, shocked judges and viewers with her bum-wiggling performance on the country's Super Talent show

Sara Seifert, 18, from Vukovar, Croatia, shocked judges and viewers with her bum-wiggling performance on the country's Super Talent show - a version of popular British show Got Talent with Simon Cowell. She walked onto the stage, wearing a blonde wig and a black dinner jacket, and sat down at a white piano as if to play a piece of classical music. But Miss Seifert then whipped off her jacket, to reveal that she was wearing ultra-short shorts underneath, as a dance music beat began to play.

As the camera focused on the teenager's behind, she began to twitch her buttocks in time to the music as the judges looked on open-mouthed. The teenager then leapt to her feet, discarding her wig, and - facing away from the audience - launched into a raunchy dance performance.Twerking her bum throughout, at one point on her knees, the panel looked stunned with judge Maja Suput putting her hands on her head in shock.

Miss Seifert's performance - and the way her smiling father was seen giving her raunchy performance the thumbs up - has sparked a national debate online. But the teenager said that she did not see anything controversial in her father's actions as her parents always supported her in whatever she did.Miss Seifert said she had expected a reaction to her routine but had been taken aback by the amount of criticism she and her father had received.

"Twerking is not easy, I never had any previous experience in dancing before. People should appreciate my efforts," she said.

She added that she had learnt to twerk by watching videos on YouTube and had been practising six days a week for four years to perfect her moves. Miss Seifert says that she intends to carry on twerking and revealed that she wanted to move to Ireland as her brother was living in Dublin.

or those playboy centerfolds, who pose nude ...it's just too creepy to have your father look at that.

Did it originate in Louisiana?

It says the word in its current form has its roots in the early 1990s New Orleans "bounce" music scene, but the exact origin of twerk is uncertain.

She said the word as a description of a dance has its roots in the 1990s New Orleans music scene.

Its current iteration is commonly associated with the New Orleans bounce scene, however growing up in London I immediately associate it with the Dancehall scene.

If people took the time to explore the root of what’s been dubbed as the “twerk,” they’d realise its origins lie in West Africa. It’s strikingly similar to the Mapouka dance from Côte d'Ivoire, a dance done by women that focuses on the buttocks. It’s existed for centuries.

If we view twerking through a Western prism, we’ll interpret it as being sexual, scandalous and controversial. However when you place it in its original context you’ll realise it’s a cultural expression of joy, with its function being primarily celebratory rather than for sexual provocation. Growing up, I saw it most frequently performed during joyful occasions -- family gatherings and weddings. There was nothing scandalous about it, it was simply dancing.
