    The Stomp was invented at Surf Dances held at Narrabeen Life Savers club. So many teenagers would attend that they danced outside the club on the beach sand . Dancing on sand is difficult to do which is how the Stomp developed.

    The stomp originated in the outback. It's a cross between stamping out a bush fire plus taking a dump in the bush plus running behind a bush and taking a piss. You then add these 3 complex manoeuvres together after drinking a dozen fosters and there you have the great Aussie mating dance......
