Twerking is when only your ass moves or you jiggle your ass cheeks or you jiggle your ass cheeks one at a time. (What Beyonce was not doing)

Please understand that "twerking" is a NATIONWIDE "cultural" dance and because of that it has MANY different variations depending on the area you live. What you're referring to is the "twerking" done in Mid-southern states (Louisiana, Texas, Arkanasas) called the New Orleans Bounce..

Where I am in Florida, (miami), we TWERK TOO.. what we call it though is "riding-out" usually the dancer is twerking in their squat! if you're low enough then it's called scrubbing the floor

at (2:04) Pay attention to the 3 guys in the front.. This is twerking too..A different type of twerk done mostly in the state a FLORIDA..this is the form of dance that is most reminiscent to Beyonce's twerking in this video
Rihanna wasn't really twerking in that other video..She was catching her beats! big difference
