Not knowing what exactly made them uncomfortable I think that the solution of an open forum for the students was a great solution. They never said dancing was banned but that they wanted to find new solutions so everyone would be happy.
I've been to clubs and I've seen people do just about everything on the dance floor and I've shrugged my shoulder at it. It's not for me but as long as no one drags me into it then I say 'go for it'. But the difference is simple - those clubs were for people over the age of 21 years of age whereas these dances may have a few 18 year olds but probably mostly kids under the age of 18 years of age. So if people are on the dance floor borderline grinding like they are having sex in a room filled with underage kids, yes I have an issue. I have no problems saying that. If it's a club filled with adults, then 'whatever'. Obviously the probably was bad enough because the article said 'many kids felt uncomfortable'.
