Big Freedia
Freedia is a sought-after authority on Bounce music and and the dance most associated with the style, the “twerk.” Her insight into Bounce culture was illustrated in a thoughtful and scathing critique Freedia wrote in response to Miley Cyrus’ twerking during the 2013 Video Music Awards. In 2014, Freedia released Just Be Free, a studio LP aimed at the mainstream Electronic Dance Music audience which was well received by critics in outlets like Rolling Stone and Pitchfork. The Guinness World Record for Most People Twerking Simultaneously was set by a group led by Big Freedia, Queen of Bounce. Answering Freedia’s call, 358 dancers, ranging in age from 8 to 80, gathered in New York’s Herald Square, to twerk for two minutes straight in October 2013.
