Red states like Florida and even blue New York have begun reopening their economies and lifting coronavirus restrictions. Not so in double-masking DC, where Mayor Muriel Bowser has issued a decree against dancing at weddings.
In a news conference that went unnoticed by all but a few local media outlets, Bowser announced last week that weddings can take place in the District of Columbia, albeit at 25% capacity. Additionally, she declared that “standing and dancing at receptions” would be forbidden as of the Saturday just gone.ban
A spokesperson for Bowser told Fox5 on Saturday that the rule was put in place “to reduce the spread of COVID-19 because when people stand and dance their behavior changes,” in Fox’s words.
Dancing was famously banned in the fictional town of Bomont, Oklahoma, in the 1984 hit movie ‘Footloose.’ Boogying was also banned under pain of death by the Taliban in Afghanistan, and in several American towns and cities during the 20th century, albeit without the threat of beheading.
