The Harlem Shake is a style of dance that involves popping your shoulders out while popping the other shoulder at the same time. The dance was introduced back in 1981 by a New York City resident named “Al Bm” otheriwse known as “albee.” It wasn't until the early 2000's that the dance was featured in music videos by Jadakiss and P Diddy. The dance was almost non-existent in 2013, until About 9 months back, the trap super star, Baauer, released the song “Harlem Shake.” On January 30th, 2013, the video YouTube user who goes by the name Filthy_Frank uploaded an episode featuring the “Harlem Shake.” Since then the “Harlem Shake” has gone viral and many different variations have been uploaded to YouTube. Prepare to laugh your ass off.
