Hi,<br><br>I am new to the forum but certainly appreciate the discourse. I thought I would throw my 2 cents in since I dance for a hobby. The dancing I do is partner dancing - specifically West Coast Swing and Hustle. I am no pro but fairly comfortable on the floor. I would encourage those who are not thrilled about young kids "shaking" around to try to learn a partner dance and then demonstrate for the youngsters. I think when the kids see "cool" dancing to popular music they will be interested. <br><br>The fact is that dancing is simply moving your body to music. You can make it sexual or non sexual (rythmic by itself is not sexual - we all have hips, legs, etc. - part of the package that God made and called "good".).<br><br>I think some grace is in order to young people who are simply growing up and trying to socially integrate and explore at some level (natural part of human development). I would not get too worked up over kids acting in a manner that is pretty normal and that they pretty much grow out of in a short time (remember all the screaming girls at the Beatles concerts....). The real issue is how can we as Christians who have gone through these phases, now developed and grasping Christ to some extent provide support for them to ease their way through these times as best as possible. Condemantion is not it - that was done by the Pharisees when Jesus did not live/behave as they expected a proper "Christian" should ("to think, eating and drinking with sinners...."). <br><br>Although I am not always happy with my past behavior, it is something that brings me to my present behavior.<br><br>In Christ,<br>Human
