DOWNEY, Calif., Oct. 26 (UPI) -- Contracts between Southern California schools and students, addressing acceptable moves at dances, are getting positive reviews from students and parents.
Some high schools require parents and teenagers to sign "dance contracts" before students may step onto the dance floor, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday.
The Downey High contract specifies "no touching breasts, buttocks or genitals. No straddling each others' legs. Both feet on the floor." Ventura Unified School District has a similar contract.
Parent Saraelena Ortiz says the contracts are a good idea.
"It happens in every single city and school that some kids get a little out of hand," she said.
Downey student body President Liz Calvillo agreed.
"I don't think it's too restrictive," she said. "It's become such a routine part of going to the dance; get your parents to sign and you're good to go. I know they're taking precautions for a reason. It doesn't look good for the school to have kids dancing like that."
