<p>^^I think you mean “conservative”, stanford, not “feminist”.</p>
<p>I just think there are better, more fun ways of dancing. If only people actually knew how to dance. Like swing? And salsa can be very sexy.</p>
<p>i think like everything else if it floats your boat you should be able to do it and other people shouldnt get involved. MY high school canceled my winter formal last year because of freaking…it was redic</p>
<p>i’m a teenager but i feel it’s kinda sad that teenager don’t know how to dance regularly to slower songs
i was at a wedding the other day and all the people (including teenagers) were dancing like regular slow dances, hand in hand etc. except with more… pep cause of the beat of the music
all the guys looked super smooth and it was romantic more than anything - at least that was what one girl kept on saying</p>
<p>The administration sorta freaked out on us about grinding and cut down the number of dances. Apparently the year before it had gotten really risqu</p>
<p>The dancing at my school isn’t TOO bad, but EVERYONE grinds. So then people end up looking like idiots because they keep grinding to non-grinding songs, like Justin Bieber or Journey or Taylor Swift.</p>
<p>Personally, I’d rather just dance normally. It’s more fun. Sure, you look like a dork, but it’s just more fun.</p>
<p>At least 75% of the people who are saying grinding is bad would like to grind but can’t get anyone to do it with them.</p>
<p>I think it’s weird with girls you know from school. Like all through highschool you maybe asked her something about a homework, and then suddenly you’re grinding? It doesn’t work in my head. I’d be more comfortable with it if it were with people I do not know.</p>
<p>Just how I feel.</p>
<p>grinding isn’t bad, it’s just awkward if you’re left out</p>
<p>but one must understand why SOME people will be uncomfortable with grinding, particularly adults when they see kids doing it- IT’S UNDERSTANDABLE… just go with it, if the teachers or whatever don’t want you doing it, DON’T DO IT, do it at a private party
seriously, it’d be plenty pathetic if you don’t know how to dance any other way</p>
<p>My opinion? Funfunfun.</p>
<p>Grinding, but in NYC we call it dubbing. Its a dance were your basically dry humping, and grinding your male parts with the girls butt. In my schools dances, people are practically having sex. I went to a party, and some girls will lift up there skirts, and bend over an touch their toes while dubbing. Sometimes the guys will thrust his pelvis into the girls. Very nasty dancing, and that’s why I don’t bother going to parties anymore. It just turns into a big orgy. I understand, dubbing a little when the song is right, but bending the girl over, lifting her skirt, and humping her is almost sex.</p>
<p>The sex grinding goes on in the middle of the mob where no one can see them. Everyone else just does normal dancing/grinding. During junior prom I ended up grinding. Yes, I admit it… and I’m on CC.</p>
<p>My school is practical. They know it happens and they allow it as long as it doesn’t become a crazy orgy.</p>
<p>I don’t see how there’s any room to even try anything else but grinding. In high school, our dances were always so crowded in the center of the gym there was absolutely no room to try anything but put your hands up and party hearty. And it’s pretty much the only acceptable thing to do at parties and clubs (unless you bboy). I don’t understand why people are opposed to it. What do you really expect?</p>
<p>Someone suggested swing. I hate swing. I think it’s the stupidest (not really) dance ever. Grr. I get so frustrated whenever I see people swing. Maybe it’s because I think it’s so old-fashioned so I can’t get excited unless the music is really fast and the dancers are doing crazy ridiculous stunts.</p>
<p>Salsa, on the other hand, is the way to go. I know how to salsa, and I’ve gotten pretty good at it.</p>
<p>(This thread is old).</p>
<p>I am pro-grinding :)</p>
<p>^ i second that</p>
<p>Grinding is good for single people. If you’re in a relationship, it’s like unenjoyable, unnecessary foreplay for what you’re going to do after the dance.</p>
<p>I dislike grinding, but I dislike dancing in general.</p>
<p>The only dance if you can call it that, that I enjoy is krumping. And then Capoeira, which I consider a martial art.</p>
<p>Grinding is the reason why most high school students do NOT go to homecoming with a date. If you have a date you can’t grind on any guys. I think grinding is a lot of fun and it’s not degrading or humiliating unless you look really…bad while doing it. </p>
<p>I don’t get why everyone is saying it’s gross or degrading. A lot of people on this thread are being prudes. Especially on the first 2 pages. </p>
<p>It’s now an accepted style of dancing. Just like back in the day younger people were swing dancing, cabbage patch, the shuffle, etc. It’s just a style of dance. </p>
<p>As long as you’re not bending over and a guy is humping you from behind then it’s perfectly fine. Girls grind with girls probably more than they grind with a guy. It’s just fun to do.</p>
<p>Oh and freak dancing? ■■■■■! (:</p>
<p>Grinding? That’s what happens at school dances here. Well boys’ schools. But then, by the end of the dance, there are condoms lying around so…</p>
<p>I don’t do it but I am also not a fan of the music or dancing like MIThopeful. The only time I really “dance” is concerts (and I really only go to Streetlight Manifesto concerts so skanking and light moshing).</p>
<p>condoms on the ground??? woww thats… gross haha</p>
<p>personally i think grinding is fine… as long as it doesnt get to that ^^</p>
