We feel that the dancing that one observes on t.v. and the ballroom dancing that is very commonplace is totally unbecoming to a Christian who is fully yielded to the Lord Jesus Christ and who wants his testimony to count. So the school has remained true to that regard and also in regard to card playing, drinking and gambling of all types.
