2009 West Coast fad dance. The root step is a backward samba basic step done at half speed - with miami dade jook styling. While Jerkin has many original moves, its foot work could be compared to a very basic version of NYC Get Lite (Lite Feet) mixed with Miami Dade style Jukin, wiggin, boppin & stickin. As the dance is evolving, new capoeira/ breaking ground moves are being added to the dance vocabulary.
NYC Get Lite dancers (Brooklyn hipsters) have responded with a new style called "gettin nerdy."
Other Jerkin definitions compare Jerkin to Jukin, but should be aware there are three main styles of Jukin: CHicago footworkin juke, Memphis gangsta walkin Juke, and Miami Dade Juke.
"getin lite dnt got shit on jerkin ! "

The latest form of dancing to R&B where the dancer does a move similar to the Running Man, only backwards; putting the heels back and sliding them forward alternately. Usually done on the beat and tempo to the song "You're A Jerk" by New Boyz. Considered a bit of a hard feat for some, but can be accomplished with practice. Not recommended for shoes with a grip that is too good.
Dude, Mike was jerkin' at the party last night and got a bunch of chicks!
