Grinding is a type of close partner dance where two or more dancers rub their bodies (especially the buttocks or genitalia) against each other in a sexually suggestive manner. It is popular in the house and hip-hop dance styles. It is often performed at nightclubs and parties that play house and hip-hop music. It has also gained popularity at high school and middle school dances across the Western world, where there have been cases of administrators attempting to ban it.

Dancing which consists mainly of grinding has also been referred to as "freak dancing" or "freaking".

Elements of "grinding" may be seen in the 1987 movie "Dirty Dancing". "Lambada" was a dance craze that featured grinding actions, as seen, for example, in the movies "The Forbidden Dance" and "Lambada."

When a group of people line up to dance this style it is called a "Grinding chain".

"Perreo" is a Reggaeton style of grinding.
