Apparently the dance move that I always called the booty shake is now getting really big. Also, it’s from New Orleans and it’s called ‘Bounce’. Except that I remember this dance from way back when I was thirteen and attending boarding school in rural Georgia. Kids would do it in  such unexpected places as 8th grade math class, in front of the dorms at my Christian boarding school, the bus, boy’s crotches, etc. I tried so hard to learn it (much like my attempts at learning an earlier bounce, the Bankhead Bounce) and I really only got good at one lesser version of it. And now apparently it’s the new hotness. Whatever, to me I will always associate with a place that reminds me of hellfire and brimstone old women, cabbage farms, and school uniforms.
