About Sturdy Dancing
The Origin Story
The sturdy dance emerged from Chicago's vibrant dance scene in the mid-2010s. Characterized by intense lower body movements while keeping the upper body relatively still, it quickly gained popularity among younger dancers.
What started as a local trend exploded into mainstream popularity through social media platforms, especially TikTok, where dancers showcased their unique sturdy styles.
Today, getting sturdy has become a global phenomenon, incorporating elements from drill music, hip-hop, and other urban dance styles.
