This year, the Liberty University Board of Trustees has decided to put an absolute stop to dancing, and instructed Res Life to enforce a strict no dancing policy. This action prevents halls from putting on hall formals, and instructs all RAs to put a stop to dancing when they see it.

Dancing is social, and brings people together. People from all different cultural and social backgrounds. Dancing is something that is ingrained in every child, when they just can't help but move to music. To disallow dancing is to deny the rhythm that God has placed in humanity. To prevent dancing is to deny a part of God's creation. To deny dancing is to act as the pharisees did. This ruling is undeniably unreasonable, unbiblical, and brings an unwelcoming environment to this campus. Time and again in the Bible, the heroes of the faith are recorded to have danced with joy, Ecclesiastes 3 says that there is a time for everything, and verse 4 expands on this and says "A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance"(KJV).

Sign this petition to stand up against this pharisee-like rule, and restore dancing at Liberty University. To the Board, we may be insignificant, and undesirable, but together, we will be undeniable.
