Why not just call it like it is. Change the name from the Homecoming Dance to the Homecoming Groupgrope. Or just go all the way (so to speak) and call it the Homecoming... Oh nevermind.

Perhaps some here should read an actual description of the dance before telling us how it's just like the waltz...

QUOTE FROM DANCE SITE:

Well next to sex its one of the most fun things to do. Its safe, simple, and it may even lead to actually having sex(safe sex of course)! Gotta love it. Im not even sure why people seem to have so much trouble with learning how to grind. For girls all they do is shake their ass left to right in small circular motions, making sure its sticks up or out. All the guys have to do is ride them. If the girl doesn't know what she is doing than the guy takes the lead. Guys you put your hands around their hips, thrust your pelvic area on their ass. Now you do exactly the same thing move your pelvic area in the same small circular motions left to right. Don't forget to bend your knees from left to right accordingly to retain balance otherwise you look stiff. If the circular motion is to hard you can start with just left to right and work your way to small circular motions. So basically you guide their ass with your pelvis. Once you become a pro like me you can start improvising moving your whole pelvic area in conjunction with your chest in a sort of a snake movement, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. If all fails just look at the pictures I uploaded above, see how much fun they are having while you stand by the wall like a wall flower. NOW GET YOUR ASS IN THE DANCE FLOOR!

UNQUOTE

That ain't the waltz and I don't want my kids doin' it at the High School

I'm with you. Based on wikipedia's description over here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freak_dancing

---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. In some parts of the Northeastern United States it is commonly called culiando, which basically translates to grinding. 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 excuses these kids (and parents!) are making about it being "non-sexual" are a joke!

"Other parents, including Pete Duval, said they don't object to the dance style, because it doesn't lead to further touching. Once the music stops, they said, so does the grinding.

"The look is extremely sexual, but the intent is not," Duval said."

What do you think, father of the year award for this guy?

If I or my husband had ever seen some guy grinding our daughter that fellow's hope for a future family would have been forcibly removed from his body. And if said daughter had not slapped the guy silly her trip to the convent would have been swift and sure.

The Waltz was quite scandalous some years ago.

Asked by parents to describe the dance, Connolly offered this: The girl leans forward and the boy puts his pelvis against her backside. Then, he thrusts.

"It's feigning a sex act," Connolly said.

But some students and parents don't see it that way. They say that like the jitterbug and disco before it, grinding is just a sign of the times.

"We were raised to dance like that," senior Kayla Bisson said.




...that's no way to rear a child. Millstones, meet necks. See post 85...and NAMBLA would be proud--and might in fact be (see post 37). BRAVO for the principled principal!

Probably it could be said that all dancing has a sexuality aspect to it. I've taken many dance lessons including waltz and tango. Both these and others can be danced two ways, with a slight distance between partners and full-body-contact.

Full-contact ballroom dancing is indeed quite intimate and often symbolic but it is most definitely not grossly, overtly sexual. There is a difference. As Potter Stewart said, perhaps I can't define obscenity but I know it when I see it.

I wonder if he'd let me dance with his wife like that?

"Grindin' coffee" - been bad since my HS banned it in 1958.

How did we not become wanton crminals?
