It's nice to see what American culture is producing in our young 'uns. That's why I took mine away from it.

Is it too extreme to wonder why schools have dances at all? It's supposed to be an academic institution. Publik skoolz are always whining for more taxpayer dollar, so why do they bother with this s**t? So the kids can socialize? Well, they seem to be doing a pretty good job of that on their own time, thank you.

Parents have been freaking out their teens' dancing style since Lott scurried out of Gomorrah.

Yeah, and it now looks as if their worst fears were absolutely on the money. All of the warnings from parents of previous generations are now coming true, with a vengeance.

Its inappropriate, disrespectful and obscene. Give me 40s style dancing. Now's that's decorous, elegant and uplifting!

The Baptists have had it pretty much right.

Dancing! Ha!
When I was in high school, you were lucky to find two people on the dance floor, and those two tended to be girls dancing alone or with each other.
On the other hand, if I ever heard that any children I ever have "dance" like that, I'll enroll them in ballet classes for the next decade. Boy or girl!

Nothing really changes, does it? Fifty years ago kids horrified their parents by chewing "gum" and using "slang." Now it's dry-humping on the dance hall floor. See the similarity?

Slippery slope.
Is that what they call that style of dancing?

A nation that abandons civilization will, over time, lose the benefits of civilization. It's something to be very concerned about - especially if you plan on getting old.

There really is no slippery slope -- if there were, then the world would have ended years ago. As it is, there are only trends that come and go...

We didn't come close to ever touching each other in any of our dancing back then.
Ewww, the worst was being caught dancing with some creep when it switched over to a slow dance number. Accck. "Ummm, I just remembered I have to go to the little girls' room to powder my nose" or "Gee, I just remembered I smoke and need to go outside - see ya!" and then pray that *he* doesn't.

Meanwhile, the daddies of many of these kids pay a girl who is nearly their daughter's age to bump and grind on their crotch at the local gentlemen's club.
