Just repeating what I heard my dear ol' Southern Baptist Auntie say when I was little.

With that being said, I will host the first ever Spring Formal for middle schoolers this spring at our Christian school.

It's really funny....of course, as COGOP, I was raised a teetotaler against dancing (never really wanted to anyway).

We are very involved in the homeschool movement. One thing we have found unusual, is the emergence of DANCING as a way of social interaction for the young people! Most of the folks are your Duggar typ folks.....VERY conservative. A lot of them choose to court instead of date, like someone mentioned the Duggar family does.

The problem is getting young men and women together in a non-threatening environment so they can meet some folks of the opposite sex in a non sexual way.

We have done a couple of these dances or balls, and they are SOOOOO fun! The are not your, pair off prom type things, but more like the dance from Sound of Music. We even went to a square dance!

Anyway, if handled in the right way, I think this can be a really good thing, and not a precursor to making out!

And BTW....I heard that the reason most Baptists are against alcohol is because it leads to dancing!

We have a retired dance teacher here at CRC. He was raised COGOP and his brother was a SO. He went to LA to teach dance and worked with many stars.....

Anyway, I asked him to teach some dance lessons. I take my wife on a cruise every year, and I have always wanted to dance with her at the "Captain's Night". So, this year I am learning and we are going to dance.

I have been married to her for 43 years......I HOPE this dancing thing leads to making out....wow!!!! I see nothing wrong with people dancing. I don't agree with all dancing like I don't agree with all musical lyrics.

My mom and step dad danced at their wedding....they were 78. I think they did a little making out right after that......but thank God she didn't come home pregnant.

Dr. Ron, you are cracking me up this morning!!

Wait a second

That's my woman you're talking about. I proposed to the then Sis. Hamm before this whipper snapper came and caught her eye.

We did something cool at an officers training camp for Future Business Leaders of America this year. The kids always want a dance. Most of the teachers over FBLA are Christians and are getting a little tired of correcting inappropriate behavior.

So this year, we had a dance. We chose the songs and taught the kids different kinds of dances. We taught the ballroom dancing, square dancing, the Twist, Swing dancing, line dancing, and others. The kids said it was the most fun dance they have ever been to.

When it was ending, a couple of the teachers took current music and showed them how they could apply what we taught them to the latest music. Pretty cool.

I sure wish I could get some training... but do the best this white boy can.

Dr. Ron has it made. Inside Dance Teacher. Good post.

I loved to dance as a teenager,We lived waaay out in the country and the lady that drove our school bus would have parties for us at her house.My mother was a member of the local COGOP,but she did not make us kids act as members of the church.WE had great times at those parties.

Now my grand-daughter is on the dance and drill team for the Jr. High School in Rockwall,Tx. We made a special trip just to see her perform this year.

I don't believe there is a thing wrong with dancing,when it is done in good taste.

Sure wish I could still dance but my get up has done got up and gone.

I've tried, and definitely look stupid , but my sister can cut a rug with the best of 'em - and she's a preacher!

I'm told that some very strict baptists refrain from intimate relations in a standing position for fear that, if they were busted at it, someone might think they were dancing...

I think church folks ought to be glad kids want to dance the way they do to rock music. If a teenage boy and girl are standing ten foot apart, violently jumping up & down & shaking & jerking & waving their hands in the air, and they all think it's cool, they won't be touching each other on the dance floor, and ifthey dance a LOT, they'll probably be too tired to do much messing around after the dance, too.

OF course, if they're doing all that stuff, some baptists might mistake them for pentecostal...

I think dancing is fun... it's pretty hard to find a venue, but when Sam and I were dating there was a ballroom at the Seattle center... he was at an A/G college and not really supposed to dance, that was a long time ago... I know, it is scandalous, isn't it...

One of the churches here in Nash. has an off-site dance "swing dancing" thing on Saturday nights. A lot of my people go to that ....or did...my son for sure.!!! He is amazing....
