That’s too much of a sweeping generalization imo. You could go the other way and say that taking all sexuality out of dancing could lead to a society where no dancing would occur and no alcohol, etc. That could be a typical islamic republic, for eg.
As it is, the dancing is probably over the top but I still don’t see where it should be banned. As if that will stop anything. They’ll just take it to a non sanctioned place.
Dancing without sexuality has happened before:

A big hit among children when I was a kid :)
But seriously though. Do you honestly believe striptease as entertainment for kids could have happened in the 50s? Or the 60s? But today it does happen precisley because people didn’t realize that all the steps leading to it were merely the precursors to even more vulgar behaviour. Do you think Sex and the City would have been a big hit in 1955? Do you believe glamourizing prostitution leading to an increase in teen prostitution like Pretty Woman would have been accepted as readily in earlier times?
When I was a child Norway had one TV channel. And life was much like 1950s America (only with higher tech). And then we got a bunch of channels through cable and satelite. And moral decay followed the TVs in the same pattern as the cables were laid. Much as has been the case in other countries. This is not a coincidence.
Children are perfectly capable of obeying their elders. Banning this ‘dancing’ will reduce its impact and popularity.
A few years ago the media reported on a new south-American form of ‘dancing’. -Girls, some as young as seven would dance over a bottle and pretend to tread themselves onto it. You may look at this ‘phreaking’ and think there is nowhere lower to go, but there *always* is. Accept this dry humping now and 10 years from now it may be little American girls dancing over bottles...
If you haven’t actually seen freak dancing, please stop inserting your unfounded opinion on this thread. It makes you sound ignorant.
