Oya DAB This is a new dance style taking over some major part around
I made some research about this dance, but I'm still fucking confused about the different options of definition I got see below
DAB
1)A term used in bouldering (rock-climbing
on boulders) to denote hitting the floor or
a friend with a body part while climbing. A
dab can allow a climber to continue
instead of falling off, so is regarded as
invalidating an ascent (or "send")
2)To touch one's foot to the ground while
bicycling. Considered to be a lost style
point among trail riders, mountain bikers,
bike polo players, among others. Since a
lot of technical tricks can be avoided by
simply walking the bike over a log or a
stream, refraining from dabbing a foot
encourages pure cycling and the attempt
to negotiate obstacles by technical feats
such as hopping or holding a track stand .
Sometimes called a "foot down."
And here are some online previews about the dance
So you want to learn about the Dab? I’m not
surprised, once a dance becomes a touch-down
celebration questions are bound to arise. Well, it’s
a bit bigger than the end zone, it was arguably
the dominating dance of the summer. Someone
with no knowledge might see the video of Lebron
James doing the dab and assume he’s sneezing
his soul into his forearm. Lets never call it
“kissing his bicep" ever again please. As in ever.
Thank you.
Before we get into the big names that are riding
the wave, let’s start with the origins. Like
anything that is enamored by the internet, its
humble beginnings can be hard to trace. Some
cite everyone’s favorite trio since Huey, Duey, and
Louie - The Migos - as the originators, while
others will argue that Pee-Wee Longway, Rich The
Kid, or Jose Guapo, all fairly notorious Atlanta
artists, created the dance. All these rappers
played a part in making the dance popular but it's
Skippa Da Flippa that really pushed the dance in
his videos before it reached the mainstream.
Regardless who did it first, the dance has roots in
Atlanta, where dances are manufactured like
Coca-Cola and one-hit-wonders.
Hip-hop moves fast, and it moves even faster on
the internet. One day the world hasn't heard of
Fetty Wap, the next he's onstage with Taylor
Swift. One day "lit" is short for literature, the next
day there's seemingly nothing that isn't lit. From
rappers to songs to memes, even the most astute
rap internet watcher can't know everything, so
we're starting our new Answered column. You
have a question, we'll find an expert to answer it,
and for the inaugural edition we're keeping
everything in house.
So just what is this "dab" thing everyone from
Lebron to Diddy is doing now?
My Dearest Yoh,
As you very well know, I’m not exactly in tune
with the larger hip-hop internet universe. It seems
like every squad call you mention a rapper whose
name sounds more like a Pokemon or some
album I’ve never heard of. Still, while I’m out of
touch I’m not completely on my own planet. I
notice that the trends, the dances, and the culture
most foreign to me is mostly coming out of
Atlanta. Like ATL and Word Of Mouf , you are my
window into the Atlanta world so I figure you can
help me with this one.
The other day I saw a video of Lebron doing
something called “dabbing.” I thought he might
have been kissing his biceps, or maybe was
sneezing and didn't want get his germs on the
ball, until I saw another clip of dabbing on my
Twitter machine. Turns out its not about weed.
Turns out it's this dance from Atlanta and like all
things Atlanta I don’t quite get it but that hasn't
stopped it from blowing the fuck up. I saw it like
four times this week watching football. Papi did it
too. My rule is that once something reaches
ESPN it’s officially a thing.
The dance itself is simple, the easiest dance
since the Macarena. Rich The Kid has shot a
tutorial for all those that want to practice before
stepping out into a world where the Dab is
essential for any social gathering. You don’t just
do the Dab, you feel the Dab. Let the beat guide
you and when the drop comes in, you
simultaneously tilt your head while lifting your
right forearm, sneezing is a good example, just
don’t accidently shoot snot. The Dab is all about
swagger, there’s nothing cool about launching
boogers into the hair of a cute girl who paid my
salary for the lavish weave. While Future wasn’t
the creator, his music is tailored made for
dabbing. A3C was a Dab festival because no one
could resist every time “Jumpman,” “March
Madness,” “Where Ya At” or “Commas” would
play. Which was every other song. It’s as if
Future saw the future and foresaw the dance and
predicted the perfect production. I think Future’s
incredible year and the popularity of the Dab is
not a coincidence.
