The dab movement is a newfangled dance gesture that is not associated (at least in the post-Soviet territory) with any traditions or rituals. Perhaps through this trick, the meaning of which at first was only guesswork:
"depict joy" rugby players after each successfully thrown ball;
artists such as rappers use dab arm movement to diversify their performances;
people, united by some common idea, bring news of their success to the general public
Dabbing is just a fashion statement
The trendy gesture, about the meaning of which rugby fans have been perplexed for so long, is quite simple to perform: with their heads bowed over the arm bent at the elbow, rugby players (and rugby players) freeze in this position for a few short moments.
The vaguely dab-like gesture has been seen in New Zealand rugby players' "intimidating dance", invariably shown to the opposing team before the start of every match. This spectacle from the category of "not for the faint of heart" athletes from New Zealand, as it turned out, "borrowed" from their distant ancestors, who called themselves the Maori people.
Some wittyFans have already given the dab feint an aptly named “stupid bow,” with most fans agreeing that if only one rugby player made the stupid gesture, no one would notice him.
As it turned out later, the dab movement is nothing more than a newfangled dance step hit the dab, borrowed by the youth of the United States from African dancers. It also became known that white-skinned "dancers" are extremely unnerving African Americans. According to the media, black Americans are not happy that the movement, which is part of their national culture, "went to the masses."
The dissatisfaction of the African American population is compounded by the fact that most of the "pale faces" do dab wrong.
"Parents" of dabbing. Who are they?
When asked what the dab movement means, older disco-goers from the 1970s and 1980s respond that dab has nothing to do with trying to offend someone or stir up ethnic hatred. The movement really came from the African Americans of the past, who, having sniffed the "laughing" powder, sneezed, involuntarily leaning to the side and taking such a fashionable position today.
According to another version, dab is a hip-hop dance movement that has not been very popular until today. To perform it correctly, you need to lower your head down and bend your right hand, squeeze the palm of the same hand into a fist and bring it to your head, whilethe left arm remains straight and slightly extended to the left. The whole composition looks like a dynamic dance movement.
The reason for the interest of the Russian media in this strange and not everyone understandable dance step was … the conflict that broke out between two popular Russian rap performers and their fans. The clip "Tiger", released by L'One, drives the followers of Jacques-Anthony crazy not at all because of the traditional dispute "who is better", but because of the notorious gesture, or rather, because of which of the Russian rappers was the first to use the dab movement in his work (in this case, Jacques-Anthony claims authorship).
Members of the Migos group are considered to be the founders of American dabbing. In any case, they were the first to start showing deb: first at concerts, and later in video clips.
What does the dab movement mean?
To teach everyone how to perform this movement correctly, black rappers spared no time creating numerous video tutorials. According to the version of black performers, it is necessary, having buried your nose in the inside of the elbow of the bent arm, to make a characteristic “sneeze” (the other arm is pulled up).
What is the meaning of this gesture, forcing crowds of fans to tear their hair and clothes? Dab is a common dance gesture based on the habit of sniffing white powder from the elbow.
A curious incident happened in London
A group of young people gathered on the steps of the British Museum for a flash mob during which everyonethose present planned to perform the dab movement. A man who happened to be nearby also decided to take part. He raised his hand, but, misinterpreting the purpose of such a large gathering, instead of "debing", reproduced the SS greeting.
