Dabbing is a very respectable dance that was patented in the late 18th century as a show of aristocracy and the chastity of virgin brides. It is reminiscent of the brides "dabbing" their arms up in a motion meant to cool the armpits and prevent odor, as there was no deodorant at the time. It is characterized my hands up in the air, to the side, and is in no way associated with any type of drug use.
