Twerk Twerk Twerk - Kelechnekoff Studios

So let’s be honest. Anyone who is anyone has heard of the dance move ‘twerking’ and if you haven’t then where the hell have you been?  If you haven’t I’ve just found the dictionary term below ;)

‘Dance to popular music in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low, squatting stance.’ 

Now if you’re anything like me you like to drop it on the dance floor (even if you do look like an idiot whilst doing it.) Grinding and slut dropping is nothing less than you’d expect on a night out with me. But Twerking, I’m not sure I’ve mastered the skill. So when Bloggers That Slay invited me along to a twerk class I couldn’t say no. I grabbed my work out gear and headed to an industrial estate in East London to Kelechnekoff Studios to shake my butt on a Saturday afternoon (without any alcohol in my system – yes I know shocking.)

Recently opened after a successful crowdfunding campaign Kelechnekoff studios is the home place to learn the twerk and the studio does not disappoint. It’s soo cool, with changing rooms I could only dream of having in my local gym, or even at home (Hollywood mirrors and selfie spots, yes I know.)

Kelechi Okafor runs the studio and led the Twerk Werkz class I and a small group took part in. We learned a short routine, worked on something called muscle isolations and even managed to get a cheeky mannequin challenge in at the end.

Now the art of twerking it’s self actually doesn’t revolve around just shaking ya backside, but the movement in your lower back and through to your legs and feet. It’s all about not concentrating ya butt but allowing your body to control the twerk and ya butt movement will follow ;). Being the biggest lady there I was proud of what I achieved and I think I can safely say I mastered the art of the Twerk ( I think the teacher would agree hahah.)

Shout out to Protein Haus who provided some yummy shakes and protein snacks too. They were absolutely delicious and I’m sure helped the recovery after the class. Boy did we use some muscles and energy.
