Twerk no more: The dance made famous by Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke at the MTV VMAs has been banned from Aliso Niguel High School in Orange County

One Southern California high school has added twerking to its list of dances that are banned for students.



The Orange County Register reports Tuesday that administrators at Aliso Niguel High School decided the rump-busting dance is too sexually suggestive and should no longer be allowed on campus or at dances.



Twerking now joins 'freaking' and 'grinding' as prohibited dances at the Orange County school.



Those who break the rules could be ineligible for future dances for the remainder of the school year. Parents also will be notified.



No other high schools in the Capistrano Unified School District say they have banned twerking.



Twerking has gained recent popularity among teens thanks to pop star Miley Cyrus, but the dance has been around for a while.

She famously shocked the world when she rubbed up against ringer Robin Thicke at the MTV Video Music Awards in August this year.

An email was sent out to parents and students last week specifically proclaiming ‘No twerking’ among a list of dancing guidelines. The rule was in effect for Saturday's homecoming dance.

Ann Zendner, activities director for the Aliso Viejo High School said the ban comes 'because it's the newest thing out there'

‘Because it's the newest thing out there, it's the newest thing they have been talking about, we just wanted to make sure that's understood,’ said Ann Zendner, activities director for the Aliso Viejo school.

The buttocks-shaking, hip-swinging dance move has been around awhile, though high school students might not remember the Ying Yang Twins' 2000 single Whistle While You Twurk.



In August, Cyrus cemented the move's place in today's lexicon when she gave her own interpretation of the dance, bent over in front of fellow pop star Robin Thicke.

Twerkers might bump into people or make people ‘feel violated’, Zendner told the Orange County Register.



‘We want to make sure all of our students feel safe,' she said.



'Let's face it; a lot of kids might not even know how to do it.’

Aliso Niguel administrators said twerking has joined other sexually suggestive moves that chaperones watch out for at dances.



The school isn’t new to dance bans. After a rowdy jungle-themed dance in 2006, then-Principal Charles Salter gained national attention when he banned ‘freaking’ – and, temporarily, school dances.

No other high schools in the Capistrano Unified School District say they have explicitly banned twerking.



Marcus Walton, spokesman for the district, said ‘there is no district policy against twerking. However, students are expected to dance appropriately at any school function.’



‘Anything that's of a sexually suggestive nature is not appropriate at a school dance,’ said Joshua Hill, principal of Junipero Serra High School in San Juan Capistrano.

He said the school hasn't yet put together rules for its annual dance, but said he would consider twerking as 'sexually suggestive dancing’.



Students at a Baltimore high school were recently forced to sign a 'dance contract' to prohibit them from twerking, grinding and performing other provocative moves at their homecoming dance.



Officials at Annapolis High School told students on October 24 they will not be allowed into their school dance unless they sign the form and get their parents to sign it too.



The contract was very clear - students who don’t get it signed, won’t be allowed in and if you break it - by grinding, intimate touching or dancing with your buttocks touching or in the air - you’ll be kicked out of the dance.

Student Maddy Lupinek said: 'There is some grinding, but that's every school in the county'

'There is some grinding, but that’s every school in the county,' student Maddy Lupinek told CBS Baltimore.



'Dances have become more provocative in recent years, and we’ve had some issues at schools frankly,' said Bob Mosier, Anne Arundel County Public Schools.

Nine out of 12 high schools in Anne Arundel County have some form of dance contract, but not all require signatures.

A lot of students at the school believe the strict contract is due to the recent focus on twerking after Miley Cyrus' performance at the 2013 VMAs.

'I know my parents would never know what that was, but now they know what twerking is,' said Bailey Greene, a student.
