A man and woman grinding.
Grinding, also known as juking, freak dancing or freaking (in the 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 genital area. 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.
