Grinding, also known as juking, freak dancing/ freaking (in the——Caribbean, wining) 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."

Grinding gained widespread popularity as a hip hop dance in night clubs. And eventually became popular at high school dances and proms in the US and Canada where it has garnered controversy and has resulted in attempted bans. A more graphic version called daggering involves a man slamming his genital area into a woman's buttocks.
