How to Do the Sea Walk Dance

The Sea Walk or "C-walk," which was originated in Compton, California, during the 1970s, has become increasingly popular in mainstream society during the past few decades. The dance, which was used to identify gang involvement, can be complex to learn without the correct steps. Rap or hip hop music is recommended when attempting the Sea Walk due to its heavy bass and drums.
