The "Nae Nae" is another popular dance that emerged in the early 2010s from Atlanta, Georgia. It is characterized by a series of coordinated moves, including shoulder rolls, arm swings, and hip movements. The dance gained widespread recognition after singer/rapper Silento released his hit song "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)" in 2015, which showcased both the Whip and Nae Nae dances in the music video. The song went viral, and the associated dance moves became a mainstream sensation, performed and replicated by people around the world.
