Turkish Shake — arms out, then a step forward.
Turkish Shake is a full-body street dance with arm raises, wide swings and a walk toward the lens. The sample opens on a woman with long brown hair, a black cap, an oversized black hoodie with a graphic print, olive cargo trousers and chunky grey trainers. She stands on a paved street beside a giant graffiti wall and a shop sign lit in red.
The sample
What happens in the Turkish Shake sample.
She opens with both hands on her hips. Next she flings one arm up and out, then drops her arms and tips her shoulders to one side. One arm goes up again while she leans. Around the middle of the clip the view widens and she looks smaller in the frame, then she lifts one arm straight up and spreads both arms wide. In the last frame she has stepped closer, one foot forward and arms loose, filling more of the shot.
Her hair, cap, hoodie, trousers and trainers stay the same throughout, and so do the graffiti, the red sign and the street. What changes is her pose and how much of the frame she fills: the view widens in the middle and tightens at the end as she walks forward. The sample opens on one person seen full length and face-on, ground included, so a similar photo is the safe start.

Get the whole outfit in
The sample opens with her full body and the ground in view, and she walks at the end. A full-length photo follows that framing.
A single subject
The sample shows one woman throughout, with nobody else on the street. A photo of one person is the closest match.
Ground in front of you
She steps toward the camera near the end. A photo with open ground in front of the person matches the sample's street setting.

Turkish Shake, answered.
What does the Turkish Shake effect do?
A woman in a black cap, oversized hoodie and olive cargo trousers dances on a street beside a graffiti wall and red neon sign, swinging her arms wide before stepping toward the camera.
Does the camera move in Turkish Shake?
A little, in the sample. The framing starts full length, widens in the middle so she looks smaller against the graffiti wall, then tightens at the end as she steps toward the camera. Her cap, hoodie, cargo trousers and the street stay the same the whole time. Just a single photo goes in.
