Why do dogs swing around and bump each other with their butt?

when my dogs play I noticed that they'll spin around and bump each other with their butts and run around. I've noticed a couple of other dogs do it too.

Update:

If I play with my female puppy she'll run at me and swing around and bump me with her butt too.

    It's a flirting gesture. It even happens between male dogs. You might want to make sure one of your dogs isn't in heat, though.

    It's for play, for teasing definately easier than a belly bump for them!
