The "Dougie" involves "casual shoulder leans and elbow twists," compared to
snap dancing.
[7] The dance originally started in Dallas, as a song called the "
My Dougie," by
Li'l Wil.
[6] C-Smoove stated in an interview with
AOL Boombox,
"One of our friends from Inglewood went to Texas Southern University and he came back on a break and mentioned that the dance was hot out there. He knew how to do it, and he was like, 'ya'll should make a song about this.' So, he came up with the concept and we just went into the studio and made it happen. That's pretty much when we put the stamp on the fact that we were a group."
