Stupid law but also stupid to use the courts rather than the legislature to change it.

Kevin Bacon, Gotham needs your help!
Sounds like the court can't pull their respected head out of their collective A$$es.
NY need a new law.
What a stupid opinion.

This has little if no impact on me.
Fortunately (or unfortunately), my movements to music on a have rarely been described as "dancing". :o)

"Those who like to get up and boogie sued, arguing the law illegally infringes on their right of free expression."
Odd way to tackle this one. I would have thought leaving the choice up to the bars to decide if dancing will be allowed would be the common sense argument. Then again, I'm a conservative not a liberal nanny stater.

Some "Social Dancing" should be banned everywhere.

Question: Why are New Yorkers barred from having sex while standing up?
Answer: Because it might lead to dancing.
To: ShadowDancer
This fight has been going on for years. The big dance clubs like the law. The little bars hate it.

This is the type of law that needs to be eradicated from the books. America still has old, stupid, and outdated laws on its books that go back over a hundred years that, at the time might have made sense but, today are just stupid.
I have said this before that, if all the laws in America were actively and equally enforced, we would be the least free and most oppressed and repressed people on the planet.
"Lawmakers" have run amok and its time for them to adjourn until a major crisis actually arises that needs their help.

Dancing is prohibited in my house.
Unless it involves a pole.

hasn't NYC been pretty much taken over by muslims since 9/11?

It was part of the "quality of life" campaign to crack down on noise etc.

Does that happen before or after the airing of grievances?

While they are at that, perhaps they could do away with some of the brand-spanking new stupid and useless laws as well...

So dancing naked in strip clubs for dollar tips is legally protected free speech in NY but two people in a bar wanting to dance to the juke box are committing a crime?
