Harry Styles has vowed never to "twerk" again.

The One Direction star attended the Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night, where he was encouraged by hosts Lucy Hale and Darren Criss to perform the dance move made popular by stars such as Miley Cyrus.

While Styles was cheered on by his bandmates Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne, he won't be repeating the booty shake anytime soon.

"Note to self. Don't 'twerk' (sic),'' he tweeted afterwards.

Also in the crowd was Styles' singer pal Ed Sheeran, who laughed hysterically as the star danced for the audience.

The redheaded crooner took to Twitter to voice his opinion on Styles' moves.

"One more note, people need to stop encouraging little kids to twerk, it's odd," he wrote.

"Top twerker 2k7 (sic)," he added, attaching a picture of the curly-haired heartthrob.

Despite feelling embarrassed after his performance, Styles came out on top during the awards ceremony.

The cute singer managed to bag the prizes for Top Hottie and for having the best smile.

His success didn't stop there, as One Direction was also crowned choice group, choice summer tour and scooped the choice single accolade with Live While We're Young and choice love song with Little Things.
