Do kids dance anymore?
I'm watching the 70's Saturday Night Fever and even though at the time everyone thought Travolta was so cool, it just looks dorky today for humans to look like they have an enema in their rectum.
Then the break dancing of the 80's... so retarded.
90's... people jumping into each other.
What was the dance characteristics for the younguns of 2000's and currently 2010?
I see some copying of Michael Jackson, but do kids get together as groups and dance today, and if so what is their style?
Isn't it time the Lindy hop came back around?

Today they grind on each other.
One of the funniest things I've seen in the past year was at a wedding reception. A tall ugly blond girl was making her way around the dance floor looking for a grind buddy, air grinding backward leading with her ass.
There was an elderly great aunt of the bride at our table. She was in tears from laughing at the dance style.

If that isn't the most appropriate smiley, I dunno what is?
Kids are too busy having

to be wasting time dancing

And here I was working my ass off to stay flat when I could've enjoyed myself. 
Beat that!
yea people dance. I am very much into the rave scene and I go to raves alot. There everyone just does their own thing, their own dance. People don't "grind" on eachother and shit like that. But everyone is usually on drugs too so they are in their own little worlds.

Dancing has always been funny from the POV of non-professional/party/club folks. Always. The mashed potato looked stupid to those born before that generation.
For most people, it depends on the venue, what sort of influences they're under, and whether they want to have a good time. It's really just about having fun and feeling the rhythm, which I understand is difficult for a lot of people embrace, heh.
At a wedding, where DJs are instructed to play cheesy music like the Village People's YMCA, you're not going to see much.
Grinding has its time/place, especially for those who have functioning genitalia. But I believe the music influences the dance, and not the other way around. Of course you'll have grinding if you're "dancing" to Lil' John's Get Low. It has its places, like shitty bars and pool halls with college-aged girls who haven't quite yet fully-developed into their sexuality. But if you incorporate great dance music, a cool venue, and a good vibe, you get a much better understanding of what's going on.
I personally appreciate a lot of the late 70's, early 80's disco-influenced club and dance aesthetic. I really love the fact that disco was originally inspired and developed as a producer's genre, with heavy emphasis on grooves - especially with the incorporation of full/extended 12" club releases that could be mixed, and the impact that had on early club culture (think Larry Levan and the Paradise Garage). And of course, the closest modern equivalent to disco is house music, and its various other soulful incarnations.

Half these dances make up stupid names. They do a dance in a few clubs in Dallas called the Bernie.
Spend 5 minutes watching them & it's obvious some idiot just watched Weekend at Bernie's & thought that'd be cool. So there's 10-15 people bent backwards looking at the ceiling, swinging their arms, looking like a bunch of retarded apes....

Interesting fact to you youngsters.. the "dougie" popularized by some kids out in LA (Cali Swag) was actually a dance created in Dallas to support a hairstyle back in the late 90's.
She said she likes my Dougie..
