What is dabbing? To DAB and become part of this craze you need to – very quickly “sneeze into the crook of one arm while pointing to the sky with the opposite arm straight and pointing to the sky.
And that is it.

Who started it?
Supposedly this craze was started by rappers from the group Migos when in Atlanta. They and a few other artists that collaborate on their tracks, did this strange dance, and it has caught on, growing ever more popular that the paparazzi are catching many celebs doing it.
Dabbing has taken over social media, with almost everyone giving it a go at the strangest occasions; did you catch the dabbing being done by someone in the background while Hillary Clinton was giving a speech? Originally dabbing had a darker meaning behind it. “The expression is a term for smoking butane hash oil and extracting 90 per cent of the THC (the primary ingredient in marijuana).”
Apparently the quick move is meant to be like someone is having a quick sneeze - sneezing, happens quite often to people when they've taken a lot of cannabis. This original dark move has now become a trend, a dance move; this dabbing craze has a lot of celebs, politicians and royals performing this move in public. The dab gained popularity in American sports after Cam Newton, football quarterback for the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League, did a dab during a game against the Tennessee Titans in 2015.
Now can you Dab? To try this playful gesture, drop you head into the bent crook of one of your arms while raising the opposite arm in a parallel direction but out straight; Just sneeze into the inside of one of your elbows; it is a quick movement.
