As a dance instructor I always try to keep myself up-to-date with new dance moves and styles, approaches and techniques to further inform my students and myself as well, always to keep myself refreshed. I think we all should.
It has been quite some time that I’ve been watching this new dance style which began with in heels and included movements that involve quick drops into wide-spread positions and quick accented movements of the hips, which then became somewhat a grinding movement in standing position, and has now, very quickly, turned into thrusting and bumping and grinding moves on the floor, with hands coming in contact with more personal body parts, and very much meant only for mature adults. It is not even considered suggestive anymore but is quite straight-forward. Let’s remember that dance is the language of our bodies. With every move we say something, and those movements are saying things which are quite censored everywhere else.
I began with the opinion of “well this is a style for the more risky dancer” and am now at the opinion that it is actually innappropriate for kids to watch, making it watchable for only mature adults in a quite intimate setting.
As we all know, recently, we have come to a point in history where pe******ia is becoming what is referred to as an “orientation” and this has now literally ‘bumped’ it’s way, quite easily, into dance in very much the exact same way.
Before this Netflix movie came out, girls, of age, were dancing this same exact dance, but it has now somehow become okay for much younger girls, not of age or even close, to dance the same way, in some cases worse, be applauded for it by some quite sick people for that matter, have a movie made and approved by a large, large group of “professionals” in that industry and be put on one the most popular movie websites today and are calling it very “powerful”.
I believe that every age has it’s benefit, advantage, and should be lived with the according and fitted benefits and advantages as much as possible. But crossing the line this much is entirely defying the sweetness of youth and is derogatory on every single level you can think of.
