I’m not sure who thought of this dance or how the moves qualify as “wobbling,” but play this in any 21 and up club, and everyone will get in formation.

Khia did two things right in her life: “My Neck, My Back,” and the “K Wang.” Even though she provides no instructions for this song – was there even a video?? – everyone knows exactly what to do when it comes on.

3. Twerking

Only In Indiana

I’m from Shreveport; everyone knows twerking was invented by the great state of Louisiana. And as long as it’s a hot girl summer EVERY summer, ass shaking will never get old.

2. The Two Step

This is my personal favorite. If there’s nothing else you can do in life, you can move from side to side to the beat. I love doing my little two-step because I can’t dance, so it helps me not look like an idiot.

Unlike the other songs on this list, this one tells you exactly what to do! To the left, to the left, to the left, to the left….even I can keep up with that. Thank you, Cupid. Thank you.
