Oregon Public High School Cancels Formal Over Dangerous Dance Concerns

High School Cancels Dance Because Of Students With Concerns Of Freakiness

We knew that twerking could be lethal but just how dangerous can the dance floor be? Apparently enough that one Oregon high school won’t take any chance.

According to NY Daily News reports:

Administrators at a Portland, Ore., high school have canceled an upcoming winter dance because of concerns about dirty dancing.

A Portland Public Schools official says dancing has made some Grover Cleveland High School students feel unsafe.

“This is way worse than dirty dancing. It’s over the top, sexual in nature,” district spokeswoman Christine Miles told KGW-TV.

“We do have some families that think this isn’t a big enough issue to cancel the dance,” Miles said. “But if we have some kids who don’t feel safe at their own high school dance, it’s not OK.”

The Clarion, the school’s paper, notes that past dances have seen arrests and students led away in handcuffs because of inappropriate actions.

Several students told KGW that they shouldn’t be punished for the actions of a few classmates.

This sounds crazy. What kinds of dances could they possibly be doing?
