Surra de Bunda
The Surra de Bunda is a dance invented by the São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil group Tequileiras do Funk which involves a female dancer "beating" her buttocks into a man's face.[1][2] It gained international attention by mid-2010. The phrase Surra de Bunda in Brazilian Portuguese loosely means "butt beat" or "butt pounding". [1][3]
Background
During the groups' performance, male audience members are invited on stage, and will sit down with their legs out straight in front of them. Bikini-clad dancers will then dance around the men, and eventually kneel in front of them with their rear end facing the men's faces. Often the dancers will place their ankles on the mans shoulders locking ankles. At this point they will begin to ram the male's face into the buttocks with the rhythm of the music. By mid-2010, the eyebrow-raising dance began to spread with online videos of the dance,[4][5][6][7] others dancers reportedly adopting it, and clips broadcast on some Brazilian television outlets. The dance was developed with over-the-top humorous intentions.[1][8]
