We do have dancing in church services though - if it's for Jesus, it's ok.
The Christian school that my kids go to allowed dancing at their Jr/Sr banquet for the first time in 25 years. The kids had a blast, the music was previewed before hand and no suggestive dancing was allowed.

I don't understand the whole fence thing to keep people from what they might do.

Take your hand and put under their chin
'till those tongues come rollin' in

If that don't work put your hand on their head
sometimes this works best instead
Get in their ear and yell real loud
"Let Go!", "Hang on!" 'till their eardrums are wowed!

It is not a square dance without:
"Step right up your doing fine, I'll pull your beard, you'll pull mine,
Yank it again like you did before, break it up with a tug of war...."

"Now into the brook and fish for the trout, dive right in and splash about...
Trout trout pretty little trout, one more splash and come right out......"
