In Cooley High they show a few seconds of a slow drag here at 6:47

Hard to tell...well maybe a little, because it just seems like regular close, slow dancing.

IMO what a lot of we consider “regular close, slow dancing” is essentially a slow drag, it’s just that nobody uses the term anymore.

I just go off what my pops describes from back in the day, said people used to bust on themselves cause it was that intimate, peep how ol girl was grinding on Cochise’s leg.

They know better than to claim any of the dancing. At the most they’ll attempt to poplock or some shyt.


They’re better off false claiming credit for Zoot suits, which nobody believes but them anyway.

It's the "love come down" challenge from a couple years ago that had folks from all around the states(mostly east coast) participating in using a variety of common dance styles with the Harlem shake being the most used one.

Great thread.
Can somebody explain Dallas Jigging and Miami Jooking?
Doesn't look like a distinctive dance, just something you do when you catch a beat.
