Contractually Obligated NOT to Dance Sexy

Monday, October 26, 2009

High schools are attempting to bump explicit dancing from the dance floor.

There are THREE things you can count on. Death, taxes, and the fact that adults will be horrified by the way teenagers dance. Bumping and grinding have been common dance moves on high school dance floors -- until now.

Southern California is cracking down on sexually explicit dances by forcing teens to sign contracts that say they'll forgo the bumping and grinding if they plan to attend the homecoming dance.

The stipulations include: "No touching breasts, buttocks or genitals. No straddling each others' legs. Both feet on the floor," and "When dancing back to front, all dancers must remain upright -- no sexual bending is allowed -- i.e., no hands on knees and no hands on the dance floor with your buttocks touching your dance partner."

Who are these new contracts trying to protect? Presumably the children. But Karen Sternheimer, a USC sociologist, pointed out to the Los Angeles Times that the height of the "freak-dancing" craze happened at the same time that teen sex, teen pregnancy, and teen rape statistics were in sharp decline.

Do you think this contract will hinder the dirty dancing craze?
