A state of mind reached while dancing. Can be applied to any form of dance art, but is primarily used to describe freestylers "flowing" with the music. In this state of mind, it seems like the music is telling your body what to do, and you just go with it. While emotionally in this state all worries, fears, insecurities seem to melt away, reality fades as it becomes just you and the music. Physically, one feels as though they can keep on dancing, and their movements are natural and without thought. These two states combine as one to describe the state of flowing. Flowing can be reached sober or under the influence of a substance, and in this state NOBODY IS A BAD DANCER, regardless of skill level as the main point of flowing is feeling the music and enjoying one's self.
I was totally FLOWING to that last track!
Did you see that guy/girl flowing with the music?
Man, just flowing is so much fun.

A hairstyle that's very popular for male hockey players. The flow is a hairstyle that involves growing it down to the neck, tucking it behind your ears, then greasing it to the extreme. Sometimes a baseball cap is put on top, to add to the grease. While some girls and boys find it attractive, most agree it is disgusting and should be banned.
"That guy is so cute!"
"No he's not, he has the flow."
