I don't remember that dance from my High School days - but then, there are a lot of things I don't remember from way back then.

I thought "freak dancing" was that thing that Elaine did on Seinfeld?

I'm glad my kids are grown.

"If we start taking away the fun ... there will be nothing to look forward to," said Kendall, noting that the salsa and tango were also seen as being too sexy.

Hm. I went to every dance in middle school, and I never once mashed my pelvis against any girl I was dancing with. In fact, I sometimes kept an extra space between, because I'd be embarrassed as h--l if the girl bumped into a tent. But anyway, I looked forward to those dances, without a single simulated sex act. Is this Kendall guy on drugs or something?

It was banned at my son's high school last spring before the prom. They had to sign a paper that said they would behave on the dance floor. Freak dancing involves the boy coming up behind the girl and grinding into her backside. I had always wondered why my son didn't go to the dances at the school. It turns out that this type of dancing had been popular for a couple of years and many kids stayed away because of it. At a crosstown high school two girls had been banned from dances when their dresses 'fell off their shoulders' and they flashed their breasts. The high school experience sure has changed! Last spring's prom was fun for all with no freak dancing.

"If you're going to simulate a sexual act then no, you're not going to be able to attend a Foothill dance..."

Good!

dancers get surrounded by other participants it will be impossible to police what is happening in "the core."

This is true. At BCR, girls get surrounded and raped and the cops can't break thru the crowd to get to the girls.

"Those caught doing the dance were previously told to stop and also separated for a cooling off period."

What does that entail? A cold shower and a dose of saltpeter?
