Grinding (dance)

Grinding, also known as juking, freak dancing or freaking (in the Anglophone Caribbean, wining^[1]) is an intimate and romantic close partner dance where two or more dancers rub or bump their bodies against each other, usually with a female dancer rubbing or bumping her buttocks against a male dancer's genitals. The male dancer will typically place his hands on the female dancer's hips or waist.^[2][3]

Grinding gained widespread popularity as a hip hop dance^[4] in night clubs, and eventually became popular at high school dances and proms in the US and Canada^[5] where it has garnered controversy and has resulted in attempted bans.^[6] A more graphic version called daggering involves a man slamming his genital area into a woman's buttocks.
