Students boycott dance after administrators ban lewd moves
Maybe someone should teach them how to do West Coast Swing....partner dancing with the ability to express oneself to the music.

WINDSOR, CA – A newly imposed ban on sexually suggestive dance moves prompted hundreds of teenagers to boycott a Hawaiian-themed party in their high school gymnasium.

Windsor High School only sold 56 tickets to Friday night's semiformal Turnabout Dance, which usually draws as many as 500 students. It was the first dance where Windsor students – and their parents – had to sign a good-behavior contract to get tickets.

The contract forbids dancers from “sexual” squatting or bending and from touching breasts, buttocks or genitals. The school bans music from the hip-hop genre “hyphy” and any move where one person's buttocks face or touch the partner.

“They don't allow back-to-front dancing. That's how most people dance,” said sophomore class president Emily Watts.

The 5 Biggest Mistakes Men Make When Trying to Meet Women
Read all you want...I say the #1 biggest mistake men make when trying to meet women, is not learning how to dance (any dance will do). - Erik

So you see the woman of your dreams across a crowded room. But if she avoids you like last week’s tuna sandwich, obviously you’re doing something wrong! That’s why I’ve got the 5 biggest mistakes men make when trying to meet women. These come from AOL Love and Personals.  

  • Mistake #1: Approaching without the go ahead. According to Dr. Galdino Pranzarone, a therapist from Roanoke College, contrary to what most people think, a woman always makes her interest known first. So you need to establish eye contact and give her a little smile. If you can’t get a smile back, it means she’s not interested, and you need to move on. But if she smiles, go ahead and approach.
  • Another mistake men make: Flirting with a woman’s friends. This may seem like a no-brainer, but men do it all the time. Basically, approaching a group and trying your smooth moves on the group as a whole, trying to see who bites. But doing that is a deal-breaker for most women. Not only do you look like a jerk, but you’re also breaking the cardinal rule of impressing a woman: making her feel special.
