Reply #73: At the Christian school (Baptist) that I went to,

[Jamastiene]

dancing was considered to be an action that would summon the Devil, so it was banned. Instead, we were told to hold our Bibles in the air and shake them around to expel Satan and all his minions. It was fun to do the Bible shaking thing at 5 years old...then I discovered music could sound good and the school I was going to was not right, REALLY not right in so many areas. I still don't dance, but it's not for religious purposes. I'm just sucky at dancing. I still don't see the Devil summoning thing, unless they had knowledge of the Macarena years before it became a fad.
