Mastering the 'Sexy Walk': A Breakdown of Hip-Hop Cranking

How to Do the Sexy Walk with Cranking | Hip-Hop Dancing · 3:02 · Video: Howcast · Watch at the source

In short: Discover the specific footwork and rhythmic transitions required to execute a classic hip-hop move. This guide breaks down the technical steps of the Sexy Walk, from the foundational 'giddy up' feet to the high-energy freestyle sections.

The Sexy Walk is characterized by a sequence involving 'giddy up feet,' which mimics the movement of people attempting to jump into Double Dutch rope. Instead of keeping feet flat on the floor, dancers should slightly hop from one foot to the other while ensuring their knees remain outward.

Following this base, the routine moves into the 'crank it' section. This involves a rhythmic count where the dancer performs three specific movements followed by a 'crank' action—which can be customized as a twist, jump, slide, or dip—repeated twice. The sequence concludes with a freestyle 'what, what, what' section where the dancer is encouraged to move freely as the music intensifies.
