Ever seen someone suddenly drop their head into the crook of their elbow, hand hanging loose? That's the Dab, folks! It's taken the world by storm, from NFL sidelines to Instagram feeds. But where did this quirky celebration come from?
Birth of a Dance
Let's rewind to 2015. Atlanta-based rapper Skippa Da Flippa was chillin' in the studio, vibing to a beat. He felt a sudden cough coming on. Instead of your average "excuse me," he leaned into his elbow, hand dangling. The camera was rolling, and the rest is history.
"I was just trying to keep it real, you know?" Skippa laughs, recalling the moment. "Didn't think it'd blow up like this!"
