More than 20 years after the dawn of booty music, South Florida clubgoers are still shaking that ass
This theory played out one night this past July at Cameo in Miami Beach, where DJ Laz, the host of "The Morning Pimp Show" on Power 96 (WPOW-FM, 96.5), held a release party for his new CD, "Category 6." When the club's DJ played Laz's single "Move, Shake, Drop," which features vocals by neo-bass star Flo Rida, girls in short-shorts began gyrating atop the club's main bar while a few scattered couples proceeded to grind. One woman bent over with her hands on the floor, a signature booty move that simulates doggie-style sex, and a girlfriend thrust against her. On a platform in the middle of the club, an enthusiastic blond in a short, tight, beige dress dropped low into a series of erotic squats and brushed off a female friend who tried to keep her dress from riding above her waist. Succumbing to the music, the woman clearly wanted her clothes to come off.
"People have always wanted to dance in Miami," Mr. Mixx concludes. "More than anywhere else, they get wild and hot and sexy. It's just automatic because everyone assumes the position and they have an understanding of what those records represent. So they just automatically go into that zone."
