Harlem Shake is a jerky arm and shoulder movement just in time to the music.[1] The dance was created by Harlem resident Al B. in 1981. As indicated by the name it is associated with the predominately African-American neighbourhood of Harlem.[2]

The dance was initially referred to as "The Albee" it later became known as the Harlem shake as its prominence grew beyond the neighborhood. The dance was introduced to the mainstream in 2001 when it featured heavily in G. Dep music video for the song "Let's Get It".

One of the co-founders of the dance, Jesse "Smiley" Rutland, was murdered by gunshot in his home on December 10, 2017.[3][4][5] The suspect, Kumar Reid, was charged by police with second-degree murder and weapons possession.[6][7]

History

The dance was created by Al B. in 1981, he was known for performing it during breaks at the Entertainer's Basketball Classic basketball tournament at Rucker Park. Harlem resident Al B. ( also known as Ali Saadat and Al Cisco) whose legal name was Albert Leopold Boyce died in 2006 at the age of 43.[8][9][9] The dance was first called "The Albee" after its creator and later became known at the Harlem Shake when it was became popular outside of the neighbourhood.[10] The dance was then popularised by four man dance crew Crazy Boyz (members Maurice "Motion" Strayhorn, Jesse "Smiley" Rutland, Kirkland "Dirty Kirt" Young and Joseph "No Bones" Collins).[11]

Sources differ in identifying the inspiration for the dance - some say it is based on an Ethiopian dance Eskista[2][12] and others that it was inspired by the dancemoves of the creator's mother Sandra Boyce.[8]

In 2003 interview Al B. said that the dance is "a drunken shake that will make you die if you ever attempt it, and you could easily go to jail anyway. It's a dirt bag troll that is really hardcore and will make you have seizures but it's fantastic. Everybody appreciates it." According to Al B the dance came from the ancient Egyptians and describes it as what the mummies used to do.[10][13] Because they were all wrapped up, they couldn't really move, all they could do was shake.[14][15]

In popular culture

The Harlem shake became mainstream in 2001 with the release of the music video for "Let's Get It" by G. Dep. The video featured children performing the dance.[16][14][17] The dance became popular in hip-hop music videos of the era especially with artists from Harlem. Most notably it was a key feature in music videos for Jadakiss' "Put Your Hands Up and G.Dep's "Special Delivery", both released in 2001.[18] The outro to Missy Elliott's 2002 hit "Work It" states "Yo, it's okay though, you know if you wanna be hard and ice-grilled, and Harlem Shake at the same time, whatever, let's just have fun."

The Harlem shake is commonly associated with a similar dance move "The Chicken Noodle Soup". The "Chicken Noodle Soup" dance evolved from the Harlem shake and exploded into popularity in the summer of 2006 when DJ Webstar and Young B brought it to the mainstream with the release of a song of the same name.[14][19] The dance is referred to in the CunninLynguists song, "Old School", in Mac Dre's, "Thizzle Dance," and in Nelly's, "Dilemma." A band from New York City took the name of the dance and dubbed themselves Harlem Shakes.

Reaction to the Harlem shake meme and song

{{main| Harlem shake (meme)| Harlem Shake (song)}}

In February 2013, a song named "Harlem Shake" (due to a sampled line referring to the Harlem Shake dance) originally uploaded to YouTube on May 10, 2012 by DizastaMusic, went viral and became an Internet meme. The dance being done in the internet meme is not the Harlem shake.[20] A number of Harlem residents were displeased with the co-opting of the name and making a mockery of the dance. Harlemite Elaine Caesar was quoted as saying "Don’t offend us with that nonsense you’re calling the Harlem Shake." The meme inspired a number of videos demonstrating the authentic dance.[11]
