Worm (dance move)

In this move a subject lies prone position and forms a rippling motion through their body, creating a wave reminiscent of earthworm locomotion.

[2] The worm was performed at shows in the 1970s and was popularized widely during the 1980s "funk" period, and continues to be associated with breakdancing.

[citation needed] The move has been used by WWE wrestler Scotty 2 Hotty as his finishing maneuver ending with a chop drop and would later be used by Otis Dozovic as his signature maneuver called the "Caterpillar" ending with a standing elbow drop.

David Arquette, as a wrestler, has used the worm dance ending with a standing elbow drop finisher in WCW and later on in the independent circuit.

[citation needed] Michael Fassbender has demonstrated the worm dance move on several talk shows and press events.

A man lies prone on a stage. He pushes up with his arms, throwing his torso into the air. As it falls, his legs rise. He undunlates like a sine wave, approximating the shape and movement of a worm through the art of interpretive dance.
