Subject: The Origin Of The Bump
Written By: Arthur on 05/06/04 at 1:45 pm
Hi I am new here. The Bump is my favorite dance of all time from the 70s. I am a little curious though how did it start? The way it is it must have an interesting story. Was it something like two girls were dancing in a club a little too close bumped hips liked,kept going and it went on from there or ounce I heard it started on Soul Train. Anybody know?

whoa! i don't know the origin, but it's bringing back painful memories for me! when i was in 7th grade and my boyfriend was in 8th grade, i would come home after a night of bumping the dance with majorly bruised hips because we were both so skinny! also remember doing the hustle, but that one didn't hurt!!

Actually, it my great-grandfather that orginated the bump-when we were kids, he used to play a game with us called "bumpers". He would pick us up and bump our rumps against the wall.
Ok, ok, so it wasn't the origin of the bump but it does make for a good story. ;)

I remember at this family party in the 70s, my Mom, 5 foot 0 inches and about 105 lbs dancing with this 6 foot 6 - 275 lb guy named Jerry. He would bump her and she would go flying accross the dance floor ;D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe it started in 1975 and I vaguely remember someone one time mentioning how or where it started, but what I remember is so little there just ain't enough brain cells concerning it to come up with a complete thought. Sorry.
