Twerking is defined by Oxford Dictionary as a dance to popular music in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low, squatting stance.

In a copy of the six-second video obtained by the newspaper, the substitute can be seen doing a wall twerk, which is a handstand against the wall while twerking.

No students appear in the video, but can be heard laughing and cheering the teacher on in the background.””
