We were talking about this at dance class last night. The starting hip circles to the back was mentioned. My first instructor, had us tuck our pelvises under when doing them to the front so that it didn't look vulgar. Showing the left palm can also be offensive to some audiences. Then Ocean Fire mentioned that stealing moves from dances of other cultures and putting them into a fusion can be offensive if say the move came from an Indian dance and was a sacred posture.
