As you can now see, many many dances are considered controversial when they first emerge. But with some time and distance we can now see how innocent and fun these dances can be (like the waltz, or the twist).
However, fairly recent dance styles, such as pole dancing and twerking, are yet to be socially accepted. If you paid attention, you might've noticed that on those 2 particular blog entries I put a warning before you start reading the actual blog post. This is because they're still controversial topics and I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable.
But I'm sure in a few years we'll look back on twerking and just say to ourselves: "hmm, it's actually not as racy/provocative as it seemed back in the day". Probably because in the future new dances will emerge and we'll think they're 'worse' than any other dance invented before, as has happened to all the dances previously mentioned in this blog.
Hope you enjoy reading this blog as much as I enjoyed making it!
