Windsor, Calif- A newly imposed ban on sexually suggestive dance moves prompted hundreds of teenagers to boycott a Hawaiian-themed party in their high school gymnasium. Windsor High School only sold 56 tickets to Friday night's semiformal Turnabout Dance, which usually draws as many as 500 students. It was the first dance where Windsor students — and their parents — had to sign a good-behavior contract to get tickets. The contract forbids dancers from "sexual" squatting or bending and from touching breasts, buttocks or genitals. The school bans music from the hip-hop genre "hyphy" and any move where one person's buttocks face or touch the partner. "They don't allow back-to-front dancing. That's how most people dance," said sophomore class president Emily Watts. The clampdown came after an October homecoming dance marked by lewd gesticulations and rowdy behavior. The school warned students who attended Friday's "Paradise Awaits" party they could be subject to random breath tests to check for alcohol. The restrictions in Windsor, about 60 miles north of San Francisco, come as school administrators nationwide grapple with the proliferation of "freak" dancing and "grinding" popular in music videos on MTV and the Internet. Schools in Maine, New Hampshire and Montana outlawed grinding last year; others have canceled dances indefinitely.

Face it. Kids are rather stupid and will ape whatever the entertainment industry shoves down their young throats as "cool", no matter how lewd, crude, socially unacceptable, or socially irresponsible.
Schools that allow this stuff should have their administrators horse-whipped.
No booty dancing allowed?
A school that sticks to its guns on morals is one to be praised. Well done. The kids will get over it and maybe even learn something.
That's not dancing, young lady. It's simulated sex in public. You're a victim of an industry just sucking your money and mind away from you.
Thank goodness. Who would want to see their parents dancing like that anyway.......... gross.
well said
I guess lap dances are out of the question???
Good for the administrators. If they can't control the students, they're in the wrong job.
The other alternative is to force all the parents to attend as "escorts". Wonder how many dance like that in front of their mothers?
Parents that allow this stuff should be horse-whipped.
... so that would make the money spent on her HPV shot a waste ...
Bravo! Well done! LOL!
No matter what position you dance in, young lady, do as the nuns used to say: "Leave enough room between you two for the Holy Ghost!"
The parents probably have the after-dance hotel party rooms booked already, so let the kids forego any prudey prom. Let them sex-up the dances in the hotel's ballroom.......and later let them do the hula-hula in the hotel's beds all night long.
It's a pity that a percentage of movie-molded, hormonally-wracked thugees and thug-ettes will spoil what should be a memorable fun night for normal teenagers.
This is high school age, for cryin' out loud. Our kids have no normal childhood or teen years any more. It's become so bad that legal contracts for good behavior have to be signed. Sheesh!
I hope a lot of liberal new-age parents get stuck for those $800 dance dresses and $100 corsages which won't be worn because of the boycott.
Aloha.

Since it's known as the "Turnabout Dance," I think the parents SHOULD dance like that, and as chaperones, the kids should have to watch. < /sarcasm >
Seriously, the kids aren't hurting the school by boycotting the dance, but they're just spoiled and bratty enough to think they *rule*. The REAL world awaits them! LOL!
Does that mean no dipping during ballrooms numbers?
Dipping was a "near occasion of sin"!
Almost as bad as French-kissing!
