"Exotic twerk" refers to incorporating twerking movements into a dance style called exotic pole dance, which is a sensual and athletic form of dance performed on a vertical pole. This style combines the foundational moves of twerking with the grace, flexibility, and acrobatic skills of pole dancing, often emphasizing floor work and fluid, provocative movements. Performers typically wear heels and perform routines choreographed to music, blending sensual body movements with intricate pole and acrobatic elements.
