'Dirty dancing' prompts Ohio school dance ban

BELLEVUE, Ohio (AP) — Photos appearing to show suggestive “dirty dancing” at a high school’s recent homecoming have prompted an Ohio school district to suspend dances.

The Bellevue Gazette says photos from the event on the newspaper’s Facebook page prompted an angry phone call from Bellevue Superintendent Kim Schubert, who called the pictures “a shock.”

Schubert issued a statement Tuesday saying inappropriate dancing at school events would not be tolerated. She says no further dances will be allowed in the district 45 miles southeast of Toledo until students are given some rules on behavior expected from them.

Bellevue High School senior Mariel Andrews tells WUPW-TV of Toledo that school administrators are being “dramatic” and blowing things out of proportion.
