Now I've heard of the fashion police and the fun police but this is the first time I've ever heard of the dance police. But that seems to be the case in Utah because the local police had shut down a Halloween dance party for dancing without a “dance permit”.

Although dance permits do exist, they are usually are inside permits for large gatherings with amplified sound. In St. George Utah, it is a separate permit. So in other words they were allowed to play loud music but were forbidden from dancing.

“It is not OK to tell people they can’t dance. It’s not OK to tell people they need a permit to dance” said one of the organizers from the event “Only in the land of the free do we need a permit to dance”.

Next time you have a party make sure to keep an eye out for the dance police.
