has gloss | eng: The Worm, sometimes referred to as the dolphin is a dance motion often associated with breakdancing and "funk" subculture in which a subject lies supine and forms a rippling motion through their body, creating a wave reminiscent of a worm crawling. This can be done either forward or backwards, by shifting weight from the upper body to the lower body (backwards) or vice-versa for forwards. Sophie Tucker is considered the creator of the worm, which originated during the 1920s. It was performed at some punk rock shows in the 1970s, was popularized widely during 1980s "funk" period, and continues to be associated with breakdancing. |
