Boogies

/ˈbuːɡiz/ noun

Definition

Plural of boogie; instances of dancing or lively rock and roll music, or the act of dancing energetically to such music.

Etymology

From 'boogie-woogie,' a blues piano style developed in the 1920s by Black musicians in the American South. The word itself may derive from African-American slang.

Kelly Says

When 'boogie' became a verb, it democratized dancing—you didn't need lessons or a partner, you just 'got down,' and African-American musical innovation changed how the whole world moved.
