turfing
Turf dance is a form of American street dance that originated in Oakland, California. The term is credited to dancer Jeriel Bey, who created it as an acronym for Taking Up Room on the Floor〔 〕〔 because the terms "having fun with it" or "hitting it" (as it was originally known) didn't seem marketable. The term turf dancing originated as a way to describe dances that different "turfs" from Oakland performed to represent where they were from (the same as "blocks" or "sets"). The dance form had its earliest influences in the Oakland boogaloo movement of the mid-1960s, later developing into a distinctive dance style.
==History==
Turf Dancing has its earliest origins in the Oakland boogaloo movement of California in the 1960s, developing into a separate genre of dance in the 1990s. Along with hyphy music, it came to be seen as distinctively representative of Oakland. The movement rose to prominence in 2002 following Jeriel Bey's establishment of his group, "The Architeckz." Turf Dancing was first displayed on videos from artists such as Baby Bash, Keak Da Sneak, and E-40 by innovative and influential turf dancers (and creators of the turfing Lifestyle) Jeriel Bey. Along Demetrius Zigler, Chare' Johnson, Rawnay, Ronald "Head" Singleton & Yun Shep, and Dav 2.0.〔 Turf dance had been promoted as a means of dispute resolution within the Oakland community,〔 and in 2005 The Architeckz built on this concept of dance battle by engaging krump dancers from Los Angeles in city-level competition.〔 Friendly rivalries with dancers from New York and Memphis〔 have developed as well. The artist E-40 brought international attention to the movement with his 2006 single Tell Me When to Go. In 2012 Alonzo (Turf) Jones
