💃 STOMP! STOMP! STOMP! Imagine a dance so simple it could be learnt in minutes and so popular it became a craze. It was called The Stomp and it was pounded out in surf clubs and council halls around Australia's coast. The so called "weird, undignified" dance move was banned in two Australian councils, who feared it could render some buildings unsafe.! Watch and listen as teenagers express their enthusiasm for the Stomp. 🎥 ABC NEWS | I Grew Up in Mortdale 2223

Distinct from "social" dances, stomp dancing has a profound ceremonial and religious significance. Men sing, which takes the form of a prayer, while women keep the rhythm with shaker instruments such as box turtle shells and deer toes.
