Q&A for How to Do the Worm

Maybe not severely, but you can get injured. You could pull a muscle or tear a ligament.

If you're having trouble following the instructions, try looking for YouTube tutorials. Learning any dance move will require some patience, so stick with it and keep practicing.

You can't do it without bending your legs. Your legs help your body become more stable when you do the worm. If you are trying to do it without using your legs, you could end up injuring yourself.

Usually, when it hurts your stomach it's because you are not arching your back enough and controlling your way down. This takes a lot of back flexibility as well as strength. Do some core-strengthening exercises for a few weeks and try again.

It has everything to do with flexibility. I can't do it, my siblings can't do it, but my gymnast friend can.

Bend your toes before you kick. This should help you get height to your kick.

It all depends on your opinions, beliefs, etc.

It's just arching your back the tiniest bit, so no, you don't have to be flexible.

It really doesn't matter. Wearing shoes or not wearing them shouldn't affect the dance in any way.

The worm or "doing the worm" refers to doing a dance move that involves lying down on the floor, kicking your legs, and arching your back to get into a rhythm that looks like a worm crawling. It's often done as part of a break dancing routine, as a party trick, or just as a fun dance move!

You can do the worm from standing by sinking down to your knees and allowing your body to roll down to the ground to perform the standard worm. Before you try to do it standing up, spend some time practicing and mastering the worm from the ground. You could potentially injure yourself if you try to fall down to the ground to do the worm without practicing it first.

The worm is often included in breakdancing routines, so yes it can be considered a breakdance move. The worm is also called the caterpillar or the dolphin. It's a fun dance move that you can do to impress your friends at a party or on the dance floor.

Probably not because you need your arms to do the worm. Grabbing onto another person's ankles while trying to do the worm is not right.
