History
The dance first originated in Dallas, Texas,[2][3] where it took its name from similar moves performed by 1980s rapper Doug E. Fresh.[1][4][2] In 2007, Dallas rapper Lil' Wil triggered the movement with his hit "My Dougie."[3] Then, an individual who attended Texas Southern University returned home toSouthern California and taught the future members of Cali Swag District the dance.[2][5] Cali Swag District recorded the song "Teach Me How to Dougie" and filmed the music video in Inglewood, California during the summer of 2009.[2][4] Subsequently, the video along with the dance went viral onYouTube.
