What is this amazingly goofy dance, where did it come from, why did it spread, and how do you do it?
On Friday, March 21, after Mercer's surprise victory over Duke in the NCAA tournament, Mercer guard Kevin Canevari hopped in front of the cameras, raised one hand and dropped one hip, and waggled with joy. Triumphantly, he was dancing the Nae Nae, a dance which has, since last December, spread from Atlanta to YouTube and Vine, and ultimately into football end zones and schools and living rooms.

What is the Nae Nae?
The Nae Nae is an easily modifiable celebratory dance, invented by Atlanta quintet WeAreToonz. The group, which has been together for four years, also made an official song to promote the dance, called "Drop That #NaeNae."

Where did the dance come from?
WeAreToonz invented the Nae Nae in their basement practice space, while preparing for a show. On Oct. 8, 2013, they released a YouTube video instructing people how do the Nae Nae dance. A couple days later, they released an official streaming video for the dance's partner song, "Drop That #NaeNae."
