REDEFINING CHEEK-TO-CHEEK -- "Her hips swivel, her posterior shakes and Christina Lau, 18, gets lost in the music's pulsing beat. Standing behind her, a young man grabs her hips and rubs against her, keeping the beat. More couples join in, crowding the dance floor. They sandwich each other. Back to front. Front to back....Teens call it freak dancing, booty dancing or grinding. Mostly, though, they call it fun." (STAR TRIBUNE) This article highlights "freak" dancing and examines guidelines implemented by some school districts in order to end what many adults believe is a lewd and inappropriate trend. WHY FREAK DANCING FREAKS OUT SCHOOLS -- "All this bumping and grinding--in the most intimate of ways--is a dance-floor craze. But some say these moves suggest more than freedom of expression." (USA TODAY) This article examines a new teenage dance craze that has sparked a national debate regarding its suggestiveness and lack of propriety. NEWEST TEEN DANCE IS FREAKING OUT SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS NATIONWIDE -- This article focuses on the most recent teenage dance craze and describes the reaction it produces from the adult community. "This latest version of dirty dancing is called 'freaking' and while its been a mainstay at high school dances and teen parties for the last five years, now the moves are getting hotter and kids as young as 12 are doing them. Although students from Santa Cruz to Kentucky say there's nothing sexual about it, startled chaperones say it's the equivalent of the bump and grind on Viagra. They are watching girls get down on all fours, groups of teens line up in pelvic conga lines and pairs go at it in what Richmond High Principal Haides Foust-Whitmore calls 'sex with their clothes on.'"
