There's an old joke that Wheaton College students aren't allowed to have sex because it might lead to dancing. That's all about to change - at least the dancing part - as Wheaton, one of the most prominent conservative evangelical Christian colleges in the US, is officially sanctioning its first all-campus dance. Until the 1990s, dancing was allowed only with 'members of the same sex or at a square dance,' according to the Associated Press, though for the last decade, a special dispensation had allowed dancing with 'spouses or relatives at family events such as weddings.' Now, students and faculty are free to get their groove on anytime, anywhere - as long as they avoid behaviour which may be 'immodest, sinfully erotic or harmfully violent.' While the college's own eschatological scholars may be scrambling to determine from exactly which bowl of God's wrath this sign of the Apocalypse has been poured, one graduate and mother of a current student voiced another concern: 'They MAY dance at Wheaton. Whether they CAN dance is another question.'
