Freak Dancing

Achei que era mesmo a minha cena quando descobri que uma das maneiras que costumo dançar (não algumas das técnicas que eles dizem neste artigo) e que costumo ver dançar tem um nome! Chamam lhe Freak Dancing e é definida como "A sexually suggestive form of dancing that includes grinding the hips and pelvic area". E fiquei ainda mais em choque (embora as minhas amigas, essas sim tenham ficado em choque com outra coisa...mas esta história é para depois, ou não!) quando descobri que certas escolas nos Estados Unidos querem banir este tipo de dança...

"Grinding, the bump and grind, and freak dancing are slang terms for a relatively raunchy dancing set of moves popular in the house and hip-hop dance styles. Grinding is fairly self-explanatory: two or more dancers rub their bodies against each other in a sexual or sexually suggestive manner. 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, where there have been isolated cases of administrators attempting to ban it. Grinding has also been referred to as "houseing" or "juking". The perreo, a Puerto Rican dance associated with reggaeton, is a type of grinding; The word 'perreo' is derived from the Spanish word "Perro" for "Dog" (as in "doggy-style"). There was also a Puerto Rican music genre associated called perreo, which served as the precursor to reggaeton.

The most common dance techniques involved in grinding are, but not limited to:
- The partners face the same direction so that one partner's (typically the girl's) buttocks are rubbing the other partner's (the boy's) groin. This is the most common technique in the reggaeton scene, otherwise known as perreo. A variation of this technique has the girl supporting her weight with one or two hands on the floor (buttocks in the air) while the boy, holding her by the waist, grinds to the rhythm on the buttocks in a manner that simulates the doggy style sexual position.
- The partners, facing each other, straddle each other’s thighs. This may or may not facilitate the rubbing of genitals through their clothing. Pressing up against each other's bodies in order to feel the female's breasts against the male's chest is also common. A less suggestive variation of this is used when dancing the Colmbian-based rhytm champeta.

In grinding, the female may lead the dance with her hips while the male follows, or the male may guide the female's hips from behind with his hands."
