The dab dance move involves pointing one arm upwards towards the sky while also bowing the head into their other arm.
The dance move is thought to have been initially started in Atlanta United States by rappers from the group Migos.
The expression dabbing is also a term for smoking butane hash oil and extracting 90 per cent of the THC (the primary ingredient in marijuana).
Some have said the dance move is supposed to represent sneezing, something that often happens to people when they’ve taken a lot of cannabis.
