How to Freak Dance

Dancing is as old as the beginning of the world. Many cultures first entertained each other through forms of dance. It was their theater. However, in the Middles Ages as cultures expanded and sexual contact between two partners became taboo, people would turn to dance as a way around those taboos. It was a way to be close to someone while maintaining your dignity. Fast-forward several hundreds years, and we have the "freak" dance--an unapologetic, nonstop, grind your hips, good time on the dance floor.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Make sure it's appropriate. Given it's sexual nature, freak dancing should be performed by two consenting adults in an atmosphere where it is acceptable. Don't go to grandma's Fourth of July party and start "hittin' it."

2. Feel the beat. Like any form of dance, feeling the beat and the rhythm is key. While most freak dancing is done to hip-hop music, it can also be performed to many other styles of music with many other tempos. Truthfully, it's up to the two partners.

3. Assume the position. There are two main freak dance positions. One entails the female rubbing her butt against the male groin area. (They are facing the same direction.) Then she can either slowly grind into his hips with her backside or shake her backside exceedingly fast depending on the beat of the music. The second position has the partners face each other. The female places her leg in between the male. They then "lock legs" and grind on each other, bringing their genitalia in close contact--again, moving fast or slow depending on the beat of the music.

4. Get a room. Freak dancing is an exceedingly provocative dance. As your dancing progresses (and you are two consenting adults), do not stay on the dance floor if things are progressing to the next step. While freak dancing is acceptable in clubs and other appropriate places, making out and fondling should be kept behind closed doors.

Tips & Warnings

• Drink water! People who freak dance are often at an overheated club and potentially drinking alcohol. This combination means you need to replace the fluids you are losing. It's okay to take a minute off the dance floor, cool down and drink some water. There's nothing worse than a freak dancer who passes out!
• Never be forced to do anything you do not want to. Because of freak dancing's sexual nature, if you do not feel comfortable with a partner, walk away. It's your body, so it's your choice. If someone does try to force you, alert the appropriate authorities right away.
