To perform the Nae Nae correctly, the muscles in your legs and arms need to be loose and warmed up. Do some shallow squats, bending your knees slightly before standing back up. Roll your shoulders up and down. You can also rock your shoulders forward and back, loosening up your back.

To make the base stance of the Nae Nae, stand with your knees shoulder width apart. Bend your knees slightly, making a shallow angle with your knees. This is called the defense pose

You don't want to bend your knees too much. This will overextend your knee muscles and will make your movements stiff. You will also tire out more quickly.

Rock your body. Once you've bent your legs, start rocking back and forth. Engage your legs muscles, moving yourself from side to side at a moderate pace. You can also move your arms and shoulders in time with your rocking motion, making it a whole body movement.

Don't rock too fast. This will cause you to lose your balance or hurt yourself.

Position your arms. Hold one arm above your head and the other down at your side. It doesn't matter if you have your right or left arm raised. You can start with either arm in this position.

Do the Nae Nae. Once you master the steps, it's time to incorporate them all together. First, pick a song with a good tempo. Once you have your song on, do all the steps together. Bend your knees and hold your arms in position, rocking back and forth to the beat.
