Cinematic dance banned in Kerala schools

Thiruvananthapuam: The director of public instructions, Mr A.P.M. Mohammad Hanish, on Sunday issued an order banning cinematic dance in all government, aided and unaided schools across Kerala.
The ICSE and CBSE schools which function on the basis of the NOC granted by state government have also been asked to abide by the instruction to ban dances based on popular film songs.
The district education authorities have been directed to implement the order with immediate effect in 14,000 schools across the State.
If the CBSE and ICSE schools also comply with the order the number would go up to 15,000.
“It has come to our notice that certain private organisations and TV channels are promoting cinematic dance in schools all over the state” Mr Hanish told DC “It has reached ridiculous levels with classrooms are being used for cinematic dance training.’’
He said there were reports that some of the so called cinematic dance experts and trainers were using the opportunity to exploit students.
Such restrictions are the need of the hour, he said.
