Ask questions, meet dancers, and be part of the conversation.
applause....and let me echo this...grinding isn't dance it's pre-intercourse...and if I caught my 13 year old doing it I would ring her freaking neck....but she wouldn't because shoving her hindquarters into some guy's pelvis and gyrating around like a cat in heat isn't her definition of worthy to be admired....I empathize that at your age it seems like the way to dance but it's not and besides that, it is easy...all those folks are doing is grinding their hips around...anyone can do that, they just aren't as intimidated as you are, consider it a sign of intelligence and conscience that part of you is reluctant to do itWHERE are you guys getting this "Everyone already knows how to dance by the time they're a certain age"? I say in exasperation.
Really- there used to be peer pressure to smoke, have sex, steal candy from the convenience store, or buy porn with a fake ID, so I have to say I'm REALLY happy to see that the standards of young folks are considerably more discriminating than mi- er, I mean- precedence.
This reminds me of those first awkward "more than smooching" encounters of trial and error. "WHAT are you DOING? EW, STOP, you freak!"
When did this assumption start? Bring it on? You got Served? Which producer do I go and b!tchslap for poisoning and confusing an entire generation of already-insecure-thanks-to-media-teens?
Relax- you have plenty more things to worry about, like graduating, not getting knocked-up before getting out of your sophomore year, avoiding that first toke, acne on your shoulderblades, monstrous menstrual cramps, and public flatulence (although you can blame that on the Alabama Barking Spider).
Finally- grinding isn't dancing. Grinding is what you do to coffee beans. Not all girls can grind. The decent ones can't, or more accurately, they choose not to. Set higher standards for yourself. Then you'll be one up on them. And who doesn't like to be one up on someone? Come on- it completely rocks.
