Feb 18, (THAINDIAN NEWS) In schools all over America, from Michigan, to Atlanta, to Seattle, and beyond, parents are freaking out about a dance that has become very popular for very young teens, and even pre-teens. This extremely raw form of “dirty dancing” has swept across the country, and has kids on school dance floors performing what some parents dub as “sex with their clothes on”.

In Brighton Michigan, the administrators at Brighton High School have come up with a contract for the students to sign, pledging that they would not engage in sexually suggestive movements on the dance floor. They decided to do this after seeing the kids’ dance moves at the October Homecoming Dance. Although over 1500 students were expected to come to the dance, only 67 ever signed the contract and ticket sales crashed. The dance was canceled.

In Ohio, several school have had to come up with ways to stop this new teen craze. The main concern for parents is the ages of the children engaging in this type of dance. Not all kids are into it, however. “I think people who are too young should not be doing it at all,” said Michelle Vargas of Oakley, a 13-year-old seventh-grader at Walnut Hills High School who does not freak dance.

In Washington State, the Seattle district’s chief academic officer , Steve Wilson, appeared at a community meeting at Roosevelt High School on Tuesday to announce that he and the school district would be setting up new policies about school dances after receiving several complaints from parents about the “Freak Dance” that these kids were doing.

The dance is a series of extreme “bump and grind” type of moves that may involves couples, or three or four kids, as young as 12 years old, rubbing body parts all over each other out on the dance floors of public and private school dances. Parents are understandably upset at the thought of their children engaging in these lewd expressions at such a young age, and are standing up and trying to get it stopped. Some kids have tried to compare it to a “Footloose” type of situation, but, as one student explained, back when Footloose and Dirty Dancing type movies were being made, the participants were not 12 year old children.
