Students asked to sign 'no twerking' contract

Washington high school wants no 'inappropriate dancing' at school events

A high school in Lacey is making students and their parents sign an agreement stating students will not twerk, lap dance, or otherwise "look like you're having sex" on the dance floor during school-sanctioned events.

River Ridge High School officials sent home the RRHS Dance Contract earlier this month.

The contract outlines various examples of "inappropriate dancing," as well as consequences that will incur following a student violation.

Punishments range from a warning to removal from a dance and ban on future dances.

Students' parents are asked to sign the form, notifying them that the cost of the dance will not be refunded following a student's dismissal.
