Choreographer Addresses Pop Star Crotch Grabbing

Walter Scott of Parade magazine was quizzed by a read on why so many pop stars like Christina Aguilera grab their crotch while performing. Scott spoke with choreographer Dan Karaty, who employs the move in *NSYNC’s tours. Karaty said, “It’s really not meant as a sexual gesture. It’s more of a power move picked up by Michael Jackson for his Thriller routine and later by Madonna.” Still, not everyone is sold on the move, including Britney Spears: “She doesn’t think it fits her girly style.”
