Harlem shake

The Harlem shake is a style of hip-hop dance characterized by jerky arm and shoulder movements in time to music. The dance was created in 1981 and first known as "The Albee", after its creator. As indicated by the name, it is associated with the predominantly African American neighborhood of Harlem, in New York City. The dance became known as the Harlem Shake as its prominence grew beyond the neighborhood. In 2001 G. Dep's music video for the song "Let's Get It" introduced the dance to the mainstream.
