"Freak dancing should be reserved for back alleys and cheap apartments. It's disgusting, crude and incredibly immature. Homecoming is a near-pointless endeavor, but freak dancing makes it a foul word. I've been to Homecoming once, and between the monotonous music and the offensive freak dancing, I could have retched in agony. Freak dancing is not an expression of self, it's an expression of media-manufactured promiscuity. There are no guarantees of my attending, but with freak dancing banned, it would certainly be more enjoyable and memorable."

"If I pay up to $7 or $8 for a dance, I should be able to dance the way I feel." -Aynalem Geremew

"I will not go to homecoming if freakdancing is beanded because I feel I should be able to dance how I want to dance if I'm paying for a ticket. They make the same amount of money they usually do if it is banned. The only reason I go is for chilling with some of the youngin's and freakdancing."
-Brandon J.

"I'll go, but anybody that that's all about freak dancing will not go to the Homecoming dance. Those who are deciding to do obscene things rather than actually dance shouldn't come."
-Elzmarie Eckert

"I think that I will go to homecoming anyway because I can breakdance by myself. But what about everyone else? People will be more hesitant to dance brecause they have no idea of what is acceptable or not. I went to the last dance last year, and my friend and I were the only people to dance. It was wack. I don't see how a dance can ever work when the school has policies that make all students scared of dancing"
-Greg Donaldson

"If freak-dancing is banned, I will not attend Homecoming. Many say that dancing is a way of expressing yourself and in a way, it is. I don't feel like I will have a good time if I don't dance the way I want because I'm expressing how I feel. I believe that this ban is silly and the parents and students who asked for it are hypocrits. The students who want the ban are the same ones who do it at the dances, and the parents also had forms of dancing when they were young that their parents didn't agree with. Things change over the years, and everyone has to adjust to it. It's just dancing."
-Mac Kpadeh

"I would go to Homecoming if freak-dancing is banne because I can't dance and if someone wants to do that kind of dancing, he or she should get a room or go to a bar. I think that homecoming is a time to have fun and hang out with your friends. If you want to freak-dance, you shouldn't do it at a school dance. It's also very inappropriate for a school dance; it's not a private party or a club, so you shouldn't act like it's one."
-Krista Lee

"Yes, I would still go to homecoming even if freak dancing were banned. First of all, I don't freak dance and secondly, that is not why you go to homecoming."
-Anjana Mohanty

"First of all, what does homecoming have to do with freak dancing? If that is the only way to celebrate, society has been destroyed."
-Jeff Lautenberger

"I do not think I will go to homecoming if freak dancing is banned. I
think that the administrators are overrating freak dancing. There are
babies, drugs and violence going on at Blair, and all they're worried
about is freak dancing?"
-Gabe Barouh

"I won't go to homecoming if freak dancing is banned because I
don't consider it to be inappropriate. Just because you have
physical contact while you're dancing, it doesn't mean it should be
banned."
-Juan Pastor

"I won't go either way whether it's banned or not but for those who do
go I would say not to go if it's banned even though it's up to them.
Freak dancing for teens is the way we dance and no one will stop
that whether it's in or out of school. People from back in the day had
their specific dances (just like freak dancing is the dance for teens
today) and I bet that there were adults who were against those
dances. The only people who are against it and I'm talking about
older people have had their chance at fun already so they can't stop
us from having fun, this is our moment, let us enjoy it."
