It's the idea that black kids have inherent propensity to dance that they just have to get out of their system all the time and practice to be healthy. The soul brotha, soul sista race. That's how libs think so they think they're doing black nerds a favor by coming up with stupid hip hop analogies in class. This dates back to the 90s at the very least. Older millenials and Gen X can distinctly remember authority figures trying to come up with the lamest beats imaginable to teach schmaltzy lessons about multiplication tables, narcotics and pirating software

Or maybe they would have been better off not punishing and drugging (ironically, after constant fear mongering about drugs) children for yawning and stretching when getting up after two hours of sitting still. It's schizophrenic nonsense.

another memory: constantly trying to get unwilling elementary school kids to dance in insipid plays written with one hand for the sadistic barely concealed sexual pleasure of Principal Groomer McFuckerstein and Vice Principal Proxy Munchausen
