(Noun) A dance move invented at the 2014 Grammy Awards. To sway, preform, and sing along to a song in a extremely emotional or sentimental way, possibly incorporating hand motions. Eyes closed, lost in the music. The way your mom gets taken away by a tune from her high school days, glass of red wine in her hand, shuffling around the room as her teenage kids roll their eyes in disdain. Cynics may judge the Mom-Crooners (MC's as they are commonly referred to in the dance world) as it is a form of dance only perfected by those willing to be absolutely swept away by the feels you get when you hear a certain song. Those who know how to Mom Croon cannot see the eye rolls of haters. They have reached a level of musical transcendence that is hater-proof. Once you perfect the mom croon, you are truly free.

When you eat dirt for the first time and leave your family to build a shack in the woods
