How to bump and grind dance

Girls, Learn How to Grind Dance In Minutes, Right Now!

This dance is simple, but its implications are not. It’s quite the package of contradictions: a public display of intimacy, a common sight that retains an air of taboo sexuality, a product of newfound sexual liberty that still perpetuates age-old heterosexual gender roles. Grinding exists wherever young people, pulsing music and alcohol intersect. You can witness it happening in house parties, concert venues, music festivals and clubs with flashing strobe lights. Now, gender roles, silent signals and awkward body-to-body interactions govern the dance floor.

Grinding is a form of dancing that is typically found at a club or a party where a man typically dances behind a woman while they both move their hips in the same circular motion.

Grinding can be a bit intimidating for girls. They may not know how to let a guy know they want to grind, where to put the guy’s hands, or how to move their hips. But don’t worry – grinding doesn’t have to be hard and you don’t have to get too intimate with your dance partner, especially if you don’t know him. If you want to know how to grind with sexiness, class, and style, just follow the next steps.

*note that we’re discussing this type of dancing in the common heterosexual setting between a guy and a girl but this works in any couple situation, and we intend no discrimination or exclusion of anyone.

Where did it start?

Grinding goes back to some cultures in the Caribbean. We can trace it back to hip-thrusting dance moves labelled as “whining,” “wining” or “djuking”.

but it is it’s adoption by the hip hop culture that brought this dance style to mainstream America. It eventually “moved to high school and middle school dances (especially proms) in the US and Canada where there have been cases of administrators attempting to ban it due to its explicit nature” as one Wikipedia entry noted.

“Everywhere, boys in baggy pants and girls in tight ones gripped each others’ hips, from the front or the rear, and pushed, pushed. Pairs of girls entwined thighs and swiveled low to the ground. Groups of dancers formed “freak trains,” lines of tightly pressed bodies undulating through space.

All the moves had two elements in common: hips and friction.” As this article on Education Week noted back in 2001.

In 2015, a high school principal in Maine cancelled school dances because of students’ dance moves and the, “culture of grinding,” reports CBS Boston. “It is by no means the students’ fault, but the dancing they have witnessed on MTV/VHS/movies involves primarily only sexually suggestive grinding,” Record explains in the letter.

A predecessor to grinding as a sexually charged high-contact social dance was “The Bump”, which was popular in the 1970s, in which the contact between partners generally involved the hips or buttocks of one dancer “bumping” those of the other dancer in temporary contact. Other predecessor elements of grinding may be attributed to the 1987 film Dirty Dancing, and the famous lambada dance which became famous in the 1980s that featured grinding actions.

One additional note to keep in mind is that grinding is a form of dance that overlaps with a multitude of genres. You’ll see hip hop fans grinding, but also on dance music festival grounds with Trap music, Dubstep, and many others sub-genres including EDM.

Time To Learn How To Grind

You need to learn to grind dance (sometimes people call it freak dance or freaking) if you want to be able to get a little freaky on the dance floor. If you’re a beginner and want to know how to grind with a guy, or how to grind with a girl, this is section is for you.

First and foremost we need to mention that sometimes this form of dance will lead to unwanted actions that would happen without the partner’s consent. Please make sure there’s a sort of agreement with the other person before proceeding with such a dance as it is quite intimate in nature as we have just discussed.

The beginning of the dance

Unless you already know the guy you want to dance with and he’s led you to the dance floor, you’ll have to approach the dance floor on your own first. But if you already have a guy, then you can skip this section. Start by dancing with a friend or two. Someone you trust and from your initial circle. Here, it’s all about doing your own thing and having a good time.

Even when you’ve found your target, avoid looking around desperately. Instead, you’ll make sure the guys see that you’re having a a great time and they’ll come to you. Positivity like this is infectious and you’ll want people who want to be with you on the dance floor. Add to the attraction by showing off your dance moves with your friends. Let the guys see how you can work your body, follow the rhythm and enjoy your time.

Move Closer

Found your guy? Great! Maybe it’s a good idea to lock eyes with him from across the room, this will show your interest without much effort (we’re pretty sure you know what we mean here). You’ll want to start moving closer to him, do it with the group altogether, that way it will look like a natural, gradual move, and nothing very creepy. Then, it will be a matter of waiting for him to come closer to you, too. If you lock eyes from across the room for one second and then one inch away from him the next, you won’t look cool. So avoid that.

Extra tips to keep in mind: move towards him during the course of a song, it looks better and more natural that way and avoid crowding the guy, so maybe your friends would follow but keep some distance.

At this point, some sort of physical move needs to be done.

The Brushing Up

You should look at him and start some sort of interaction with him. Lock eyes with the guy, and maybe even give him a cute smile and then look away. Then, move even closer to him and let your body brush up against his, whether you’re facing him and touching him with your hands, or turning away form him and occasionally brushing up against him. This will communicate your interest and signal to the guy you intend to dance.

Begin The Grind Dance

Step in front of him so that you lock eyes and know you’re going to dance with each other. Spend a minute dancing in front of him, moving to the beat, and then slowly begin to turn so he can start dancing behind you and you can officially begin to grind.

First, you have to get in grinding position so step in front, facing away from him. Though you can mix it up once in a while, the typical grinding position is when a guy stands behind a girl. You can leave about a foot between your bodies and don’t have to get incredibly intimate to start grinding (especially if you don’t know him).

Next, both you should bend your knees so that you’re lower to the ground. If the guy is much taller than you, then you won’t have to bend your knees very much. If the guy isn’t much taller than you, however (happens if you’re wearing high heels for example) then you should bend your knees a bit further so he’s a bit above you.

Now it’s time to move your hips and butt in one continuous circular motion, continuing to move from side to side while moving your legs up and down just a bit while keeping your knees bent. If the guy knows what he’s doing, then his hips should find a similar rhythm to yours. Both your hips should be moving in the same direction to the beat of the music.

Feeling bold? Know the guy you’re dancing with? You can touch the guy’s front side with your butt as you move it from side to side. But you can also maintain your distance. There are no obligations, keep in mind this is your move, and the dance is under your control.

The next thing to do is to move your arms and chest to the beat of the music, rotating your arms and chest in the same fluid motion. Look ahead or slightly down as you continue to work your arms and chest while you move your hips. You can bring your arms down so they’re on your knees or near your waist, and wait for the guys hands to land on top of yours or around your waist as you continue to dance.

These are the basics in general. To help make things even more clear and give you extra pointers, we’re providing below some additional training:

Grindhouse: From Burlesque to Machete

What do we know about the grindhouse? First of all, of course, this word is now associated with the name of director Robert Rodriguez and the legendary Danny Trejo, the embodiment of brutality with Mexican flavor. Sometimes they still remember the bum with a shotgun, embodied on the screen by Rutger Hauer. In a word, in our time, the grindhouse is one way or another associated with a certain type of motion picture. Bloody, cruel, savoring the violence on the screen. Many even quite seriously consider it a separate genre.

In fact, everything is a little more complicated here. Shall we try to figure it out?

"Theatres, where no one went ... like

It is generally accepted that for the first time the word "grindhouse" began to call the so-called "burlesque theaters" located on 42nd street of the glorious city of New York.

What is burlesque? Quite simply: this is one of the progenitors of modern striptease. This phenomenon exists, by the way, to this day. At least in large cities, it will not be difficult to find an institution offering visitors to enjoy a burlesque show. It differed from modern entertainment for adults in that it was still more of a theatrical performance than just undressing to music. Dancing was and remains an important part of it, they are performed by girls who are not too modestly dressed, but still, in comparison with striptease, burlesque is much more modest and more complicated.

One of the most popular entertainments (or rather services) that the visitors of such establishments adored was bump-and-grind dancing. It was because of him that the term in the title of the article was born.

Burlesque burlesque, but that's not what we're all here for, is it? How did it happen that the word, which at the beginning of the last century was inextricably associated with half-naked girls, now suggests only blood and good old ultra-violence?

Very simple. The evolution took place in the sixties. Burlesque at that time was no longer as popular as half a century ago, and the audience, eager for spectacles, entertained themselves by visiting cinemas. In the United States of that time, there was a huge number of so-called "single-screen" cinemas, equipped ... but in fact, anywhere. In any premises, even in old churches.

At first, such tiny cinemas were a real gold mine, but it was in the 60s that a real boom in the development and popularization of television occurred. Yes, the cult of the blue screen as the main family entertainment, ridiculed more than once in the same "The Simpsons", was actively implanted around that time. A lot can be said about this era: about "TV dinners", about the whole culture of watching films that appeared in the USA ... But we are more interested in the fact that those same single-screen cinemas began to suffer because of this process.

They began to close as massively as they opened a few years before. One by one, the directors of these institutions found themselves penniless ... until at some point a way out was found. Indeed, it is difficult to lure the audience to the cinema by showing the same thing that can be seen at home, sitting on your favorite sofa… This means that you need to give the crowd something that you won’t get at home!

Most likely, many have already guessed what exactly the businessmen who were fleeing from ruin offered the audience. They began to play films ... of controversial content. Low-grade horror films, erotic comedies, bloody action films and westerns - in a word, everything that could lure the layman, forcing him to tear himself away from the television screen. And, by analogy with the "burlesque theaters", cinemas that survived with such earnings also began to be called grindhouses.

This is how bloody spectacles became associated with this word more than half-naked beauties erotically rubbing against customers.

Grindhouse original

It would be impossible to enumerate all the films more or less related to grindhouse entertainment. At that time, they were riveted by tens, if not hundreds, looked through and immediately forgotten. Often, grindhouse cinemas even sold special "double tickets." And no, these are not coupons for kissing places (although there was a separate tariff for them too), but a kind of subscription to watching two films in a row. Whether these films were connected by plot or at least by genre did not play a role, and in the evening you could, for example, watch a horror and an erotic comedy. Or a comedy with toilet jokes and a western. Or... it doesn't matter! Quantity, not quality, played the main role.

But still, even at that time, among the streams of low-grade disposable tapes, there were real diamonds. For example, in 1967, a psychedelic drama with horror elements called The Trip was played in grindhouses. This name is sometimes translated as "Trip", but here you can only put your hand to the face ... translators. Yes, stronger. Because “Trip” has nothing to do with roads and cars.

The story is about a young director of commercials, who, grieving over a breakup with his wife, is desperately looking for a way to distract himself from his misfortune. To this end, he goes to the house of a certain hippie, where, under the supervision of a friend, he takes LSD. And it begins ... no, not a bloody massacre, but a real acid trip, long, viscous, psychedelic. Due to several scenes of drug addict visions, and really quite creepy, horror appeared in the list of genres to which Trip is attributed.

In fact, there are not so many elements of horror in this tape, but it's still worth getting acquainted with Trip. Firstly, this is a real legend of the grindhouse in the USA, little known in Russia, and secondly, the script for it was written by Jack Nicholson, for this purpose he really threw acid in the laboratory, under the supervision of specialists.

Approximately the same category of "acid movie" that tells about the hippie generation can be attributed to the film "Easy Rider" (Easy Rider, 1969), which is also a legend, but there are no horrors in it at all, so we will limit ourselves to only a small mention.

In the 70s, interest in grindhouses was still high, so filmmakers continued to joyfully rivet films, focusing on the old principle “the more the better”. On the other hand, the interests of the public have changed. The audience still wanted to get more while paying less, but the preference began to be given to films that were tougher. Erotic comedies have become little by little ... not to become a thing of the past, of course, but to leave the tops of tapes popular in single-screen cinemas. Action films (which, in principle, are always in the top) and horrors came out on top.

Among the very characteristic films of those years, we can single out the horror film Abby (1974). This film is a kind of "Exorcist" on minimal wages and about blacks. The film adaptation of William Blatty's novel came out just a year before Abby hit the screens, so it's pretty safe to say that William Gerdler decided to parasitize on the success of his namesake. Perhaps no one would remember about "Abby" in our time if he did it with the square-nest method. But the director, in addition to stupid copying, added several elements of his own, in particular, the flavor of the African-American lifestyle, which made his tape stand out among the many clones of the masterpiece.

In addition, the 70s were marked by the development of exploitation cinema as such. By 1972, The Big Bird Cage had reached the audience, which is, by and large, just a kaleidoscope of everything for which people go to see B-movies: naked beauties, fights, rapes, torture and bloody retribution. Cinema is, again, secondary to several films at once, but, on the other hand, it was in this picture that the creators focused as much as possible on their primary task: to give the viewer a maximum of emotions.

It is also worth noting that it was in the mid-70s that the grindhouse (already as a cinematic phenomenon) unexpectedly for many gave rise to a very special kind of monsters, namely exploitation films with a specific theme. So, for example, in 1975 the film "Ilsa - She Wolf of the SS" (Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS) was released. And it was the first attempt in history to approach the subject of Nazism from this side. Before Ilsa, no one tried to see concentration camps and medical experiments through the prism of horror. At least no one has done it as successfully. Perhaps the fact is that the story of Ilse was also heavily seasoned with a kind of eroticism.

Around this point, all similar subgenres began to develop: nazisplotation, nunsplotation (low-grade horror films about nuns), blaxplotation (horror aimed at a black audience, like the already mentioned "Abby"). At that time, the heyday of grindhouse cinemas, the emergence of such subgenres was most welcome. Rumor has it that on the legendary 42nd Street of New York, where "burlesque theaters" were once concentrated, single-screen cinemas even divided "spheres of influence" among themselves: someone specialized in showing exploitative films about the Nazis, someone - about zombies, someone about tribes of cannibals.

A dark legacy

But already in the late 70s and early 80s, the situation in cinema began to change.

Of course, exploitation cinema, which at that moment already began to be called grindhouse, did not go away. The public wanted blood, and they got it. True, the ways of obtaining have become different.

For example, many Western sites refer to the legendary "Suspiria" by Dario Argento (Suspiria, 1977) as a grindhouse, although it differs markedly from the standard horror and thrillers of that time. And now, talking about this film, we would rather use the word "jallo". This sub-genre also includes obligatory gore and eroticism. However, one can say about Suspiria that it is an Italian film, while the grindhouse is an American phenomenon, hence the complexity.

That's right, but then there's the question of three franchises chosen simply because they vividly represent what was going on in the film business at the time. We are talking about "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (A Nightmare on Elm Street, 1984), "Friday the 13th" (Friday the 13th, 1980) and "Halloween" (Halloween, 1978). All of them are spiritual heirs (to one degree or another) of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) and, no doubt, belong to the slasher subgenre, but they are poorly associated with grindhouse in its modern sense.

The fact is that time has changed to some extent. By the mid-80s, the public was fed up with meaningless pictures, and they were replaced by others, using new techniques and offering a slightly different format of entertainment. They were still service tapes, but not at all the same as before.

Grindhouse as a phenomenon gave rich fruits, planted a seed in fertile soil and… No, it didn't die, of course, but it became something that is of interest to film critics and fans. By the early 1990s, the term actually meant what it means now: hardcore entertainment cinema, full of scenes of violence and crude humor. And no erotic comedies and westerns.

Renaissance of bloody orgy

Time passed. Boys who in childhood and adolescence loved to spend time in grindhouse cinemas became men. And some of them chose cinema as a profession, bringing to the created tapes a particle of what they loved so much in childhood.

And among these grown-up boys, of course, Quentin Tarantino is the first to be remembered. Yes exactly! One of his most famous works, Kill Bill (2003, 2004), is a real grindhouse. Of course, the creator brought to the tape a lot of his own, the author's, but the essence of this has not changed. It is in the history of the Black Mamba that you can most clearly see what films Tarantino himself grew up on: blood, a little eroticism, martial arts - exactly what was in the repertoire of single-screen cinemas!

However, there is another point of view. According to her, Kill Bill is a good and bloody movie, but has little to do with grindhouse. A true ode to his childhood impressions, Tarantino made another tape, not so famous, namely "Deathproof" (that's right, and not "Death Proof", according to adherents of the overbrain) (Death Proof, 2007). And in some ways this point of view is closer to the truth. "Deathproof" tells the story of a crazy stunt maniac who cuts through the back roads of the United States in a tuned muscle car. He finds his victims in bars and roadside shops, hunts them down and arranges deadly races, smashing opponents' cars to pieces. Of course, it could not have done without magnificent corporate dialogues performed in the unique style of Tarantino. Strictly speaking, they take about half of the running time ... But the remaining half is all about the roar of engines, the gnashing of metal and the crunch of bones. And if you consider that the maniac played by Kurt Russell prefers young and pretty girls to kill ... Here it is, grindhouse! Senseless and merciless!

However, not only Quentin Tarantino is interested in such stories. His acquaintance, Robert Rodriguez (more familiar to the general public from Spy Kids, Sin City or Alita: Battle Angel), did a lot for connoisseurs of steamy meat and fake blood. Who, for example, has not heard of Rodriguez's Machete and Machete Kills dilogy (Machete, 2010 and Machete Kills, 2013)? Cheeky, absurd, caustically mocking social problems, these films also became widely known outside the horror community. Their charm is based, among other things, on the fact that the director does not even try to be serious. Rodriguez clearly understands that these films are a farce, and ... comes off to the fullest with the audience!

It would also be useful to mention his work "Planet Terror" (Planet Terror, 2007). Not as many people are familiar with its plot as with the story of the adventures of the mercenary Machete, but the scenes with the participation of one of the heroines at one time were simply stolen into memes and gifs exploding respectable audiences on the Internet. Yes, we are talking about that girl with a machine gun instead of a leg.

By the way, "Deathproof" and "Planet Terror" were often shown and replicated on discs in tandem, under the common name "Grindhouse". Such a nod to "double tickets", not to mention the imitation of cheap film and a few other "Easter eggs" hidden in both tapes to please the old fans of something harder.

Of course, not only this couple made works in a similar style.
