a form of dance originated in california but evolved from a dance from the east coast juke dancin n also looks alot like south floridas boppin, both of which have been out fa years, while jerkin just started in early 2009. It is not a nation wide phenomena over night b/c juke dancin n boppin have been out fa a minute, which jerkin has imitated wit their own style. It is minor footwork and bending at the knees. check out youtube bop wit it and jukin, you'll see that jerkin looks like a copied version.

Originating in the northern part of California, jerkin is an urban dance style for the youth that's starting an epidemic around the nation. Evolving from the famous East-Coast juke dancing, jerkin is a similar dance style that involves minor footwork, extreme bending at the knees, and being "geeked up." You can see people doing it at any house party or after school or even in a parking lot.
