The Nae Nae is a hip-hop dance that involves planting one’s feet, swaying with shoulder movement, placing one hand in the air and one hand down, and incorporating personal creativity. The Atlanta hip hop group We Are Toonz is credited for inventing the dance with their hit song "Drop That NaeNae" in 2013. The dance was based on a character from the 1990s sitcom ''Martin''.〔〔 In the series, Martin Lawrence cross-dressed to play Sheneneh Jenkins, an exaggerated, sassy “ghetto girl”. The group member CalLamar stated in an interview with ''Billboard'', “It’s really just based on a ratchet girl in the club dancing kind of funny and the best girl to describe it is Sheneneh from ''Martin''.〔〔〔 In one interview, Martin Lawrence stated he was “flattered” by the dance. Throughout 2014, the song achieved widespread popularity on social media such as Vine, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.〔〔 It has also been performed as a celebratory dance at collegiate and professional sporting events.〔 In 2015, American rapper Silentó released his debut single "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)" which also included the Nae Nae along with other dance moves, appearing in viral videos and mainstream media.〔 Numerous celebrities have been covered by the social and mainstream media when they performed the dance, including Jeremy Lin and Stephen Curry, Dwight Howard,〔 Lance Moore,〔 TLC,〔 John Wall,〔 Pharrell Williams,〔 Miley Cyrus, and JJ Watt.〔 The video game ''NBA 2K16'' enables players to dance the Nae Nae. President Barack Obama also publicly praised a Washington, D.C. police officer who danced the dance with a teenager. ==See also== *"Drop That NaeNae" *"Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nae Nae (dance)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
