We the undersigned, respectfully ask that the new, strict dance policies for GHS school dances be repealed. As young adults, we have a responsibility to make decisions for ourselves. If we deem it appropriate to dance in a manner that is considered inappropriate by adults, then that is our decision. Dance etiquette is reflective of student freedom of expression and reflects American culture today. Additionally, if students choose not to attend a dance they are likely to get into more trouble by partaking in other social activities, example a party. A student who has payed anywhere from $10-100 for a school dance should be entitled to dance however they feel fit. If some students find school dance styles offensive, then they have the option to not attend. Thank You. GHS Students.
I have been reading through the comments all morning and honestly the stories about how miserable these dance rules are make me realize how many people are actually fed up. I am currently trying to figure out how to get someone from the administration to sit down with me because it feels like they are just hiding in their offices hoping we stop talking about this.

I was just staring at the screen and honestly could not believe how much this has grown since I hit publish. It is wild to think that so many people feel just as frustrated as I do about these ridiculous rules and honestly it gives me a lot of hope that we might actually get someone to listen to us for once.

The rules are way too strict this year. Everyone just wants to have fun with their friends without teachers breathing down our necks the whole night.

Seriously it is a dance not a funeral. Stop trying to control how we move.

I already paid for my ticket and now I can barely even stand near my date? Let us actually enjoy our senior year before it is over.
