we had 2 dances already and I went to both of them. They were really fun but I noticed that a lot of high schoolers grind. So my question is how do you do it? Like I know the guy is supposed to be in the back and you're in front of him with you back towards him... but what is the motion like? do you move your feet at all or is the motion just in the hips? What do the girls do with their arms?
No links or videos please! Just some advice would be so wonderful! our next dance is in February and is there any way I could practice for then? (notice- i'm 15 and I can't go to any clubs)
punk_princess answered Saturday October 27 2007, 9:37 pm: Grinding is a type of close partner dance where two or more dancers rub their bodies (especially the genitalia) against each other in a sexually suggestive manner. It is popular in the house and hip-hop dance styles. It is often performed at nightclubs and parties that play house and hip-hop music. It has also gained popularity at high school and middle school dances across the United States and Canada, where there have been cases of administrators attempting to ban it.
Dancing which consists mainly of grinding has also been referred to as freak dancing or freaking.
Elements of "grinding" may be seen in the 1987 movie Dirty Dancing. Lambada was a dance craze that featured grinding actions, as seen, for example, in the movies The Forbidden Dance and Lambada. [ punk_princess's advice column | Ask punk_princess A Question ]
