Those who do not want to attend these dances do not have to do so. Anyway, even if MSAE did not officially have school dances, the parents would just set up something up off-campus (as they did with the "banned" prom), because they want their kids to be householders, and learning social skills and mating habits is part of the life of householders. Dances were also verboten at MIU, I believe, but the edict was just ignored.
