Does your school have a set of rules for dances to control the way students dance? What are the consequences and how do they punish offenders? Our school recently released a new policy that a lot of people don't agree with and I'm wondering if there is something better out there.

It's probably: No honkies dancing with coolies. No niggers in the dance hall No nigger music Square dancing: permitted All other dances are banned inside this school.

No, even we are not that hickish. It was some list of ridiculously worded rules...I glanced at it and threw it away...I'll try to track a copy down. It was the policy, though, that didn't make sense. We have to wear wrist bands and then if we are dancing "inappropriately" we get one warning in which the band is cut off. If we are approached again, we have to leave. But the thing is, despite the list of regulations, it's all subjective and the conservative teachers will obviously take advantage of the policy more often.

i'm in a lot of clubs and they all sponsor dances so I have to work at most of them. It's a drag. Our policies are pretty dumb. We now have to have a police officer attend them, atleast one light has to be on, someone monitors the bathrooms, if you leave you can't come back and no grinding haha. So basically it's a snore fest.

Mmkay, styles prohibited: "crotch to crotch dancing, horizontal positions, grinding or sandwich dancing, and front to back dancing with inappropriate physical contact." Could they have found away to word that any more awkwardly?

My high school did stuff like that, but most of it was obvious and things that most people wouldn't do anyways; listed things were no ankle-grabbing, pelvic contact, etc..
Because I went to a catholic school, an incident did make the evening news as some sort of gigantic scandal when it really wasn't. Some chaperons weren't really paying much attention to a small area of the social hall (actually part auditorium, and the incident happened in the orchestra pit) where girls were giving lap dances to some of the guys. So that is specifically spelled out in the rules now. I think it was the next year that the majority of the senior class was attending a party after one of the dances, where alcohol was served. The people hosting the party had no affiliation with the school or anything, but police showed up and everyone that was there had been in possession of alcohol, which of course made the news once again.

It's not that big of a deal because they never enforce rules at my school because the teachers don't take them seriously. I'm just not crazy about the wristband thing I guess.

Seems pretty control-freak-ish.
