snap dancing

Snap music is a subgenre of southern rap music that emerged from Atlanta, Georgia. The genre of music soon became popular and artists from other southern states began to emerge. Tracks commonly consist of only a 808 (bass or kick drum), hi-hat, bass, snapping, a main groove, and a vocal track. Invented for use at nightclubs, it is unusually languid for normal dance music, with a slow tempo. There is some debate over the true origin of Snap, with rap outfits Dem Franchize Boyz, K-Rab, D4L, and producer Mr. Collipark, claiming to be the creators.
