What does it mean to "get low" or "drop it down"? - eviltoast

Please forgive me…I’m over 30 and was never a clubber.

In a number of songs, women “get low”. In “Low”:

Shawty got low low low low low low low low

In “Belly Dancer”, they drop down and touch the ground;

Hey, ladies drop it down, just want to see you touch the ground

You ain’t even gotta drop down if you want to

What activity is being described here? What are these women doing?

    We’re not talking about twerking. You are correct in twerking is a dance that does in fact present the person sexually. That is its appeal.

    It is the bending over and sticking out your ass that is lordosis.

      No. That is not lordosis. That is a simulation of lordosis. You are confusing a metaphor for the literal thing.
