Moxi

Moxi is a colloquial term that can refer to several distinct entities, most notably a roller skate and a type of dance. In the context of roller skates, Moxi is a brand known for its retro-inspired designs and vibrant colors, particularly popular within the roller skating community. These skates often feature a high-top boot reminiscent of classic styles, with durable wheels and a comfortable fit designed for both cruising and more advanced maneuvers. The brand has gained a significant following, contributing to a resurgence in the popularity of roller skating.

Separately, Moxi can also refer to a dance style that emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s, primarily associated with New Orleans bounce music. This dance is characterized by its energetic and often provocative movements, involving a lot of hip shaking, body rolls, and floor work. Moxi dancing is typically performed to upbeat, bass-heavy music and is a key element of bounce culture. While the skating brand and the dance style share the same name, they are unrelated in origin and purpose.
