CANADA - DO THE TABARNAK

There's good news for the Montreal crunk scene. For those thrown off by the multi-limb complexity of the poutine dance, the "tabarnak" has just arrived. Apparently, all it takes is raising one leg in the air and sort of wiggling it around—a move so confounding in its simplicity that half the people in this video are totally incapable of either doing it or making it vaguely resemble a dance. Unlike the uniformity of Aryan Krump or Crank Dat or any of those other more rigid dances, this one here is all about improvisation—any variation necessary to keep balance. It also wins points for taking the best Quebecois swear-word ever as its namesake.
