Yes, It was a great social past time for centuries. Dr. Peter Kwasniewski in collaboration with guest writers Julian Kwasniewski and Dorothy Cummings McLean addresses the positive good of holding social dances for Catholics of all ages, including unmarried young people, and the moral errors (particularly Jansenism) involved in saying that dancing is immoral:

While there are many health benefits to dancing for adults and kids, this article highlights 8.

Our friends at Classical Dance host a yearly Classical Father-Daughter dance for fathers and their daughters of all ages.

We are located in Lockport, Illinois, a southern suburb of Chicago.

If we want to restore Catholic Culture we have to understand the need for Modesty and Decorum, we need to remember that “we are in the world but not of it“.

“Modesty is an unfashionable virtue these days, with most people managing to get through life without hearing so much as a word about it. But it is precisely at a time when no one talks about modesty any longer that we must emphasize it the most.” ~Thomas E. Woods, Jr., Ph.D. “You Are What You Wear“, Remnant Newspaper

It is not our intention to be draconian in our dress code or code of conduct, there is no virtue in that. There was a time when such things didn’t need to be stated because the cultural norms were such that those “rules” were the basis of polite society, sadly we are now at a time when such things need to be stated as they are no longer assumed the basic standard, even in Catholic circles. Thus our mission to help bring about the restoration of Catholic Culture, One Dance at a Time.

“The vast majority of Catholics today, whether consciously or not, have accepted the idea that there exists no objective standard of modesty that is a morally binding norm for men and women, at least when it comes to calling them to a higher standard than they currently hold. However, barring the sort of “Catholics” who think that Pride parade attire is acceptable at Mass, even the more progressive among us would acknowledge that there is a line of decency somewhere. In other words, most people hopefully recognize that certain fashion choices are objectively unacceptable (although some do give evidence to the contrary), but very few seem willing to ask the question, “How does God want me to dress?” ~Stephanie Nicolas “Understanding Modesty: Objective Standards and Practical Insights“, Catholic Family News, published August 14, 2019

So while many, especially in our young adult crowd, understand these norms, as teens age up into young adult events, they are in need of these gentle reminders.

Prior to the rise of Modernism priests, bishops and popes instructed the faithful regarding the virtue of modesty, not just in dress but in all facets of life.

“God is not asking you to live outside your time, to remain indifferent to the demands of fashion to the point of making yourself ridiculous by dressing yourself against the common tastes and customs of your contemporaries, without ever worrying about what pleases them. Thus, Saint Thomas Aquinas affirms that in the external things which man makes use of there is no vice, but that vice comes from man who uses it immoderately in relation to the uses of those with whom he lives, distinguishing himself in a strange way from others.” ~Venerable Pope Pius XII ADDRESS TO THE YOUNG GIRLS OF THE CATHOLIC ACTION OF ROME MEMBERS OF THE CRUSADE OF PURITY, May 22, 1941

“there always must be an absolute norm.” ~Venerable Pope Pius XII to a Congress of the ‘Latin Union of High Fashion’, November 8, 1957.

“Modesty is a moral virtue, and a part of Temperance, by which a person brings moderation to his outward and inward actions (inasmuch as they can be reflected by certain exterior signs), in order to keep them under the control of right reason” He goes on to list 4 kinds of modesty in ordinary matters: 1. The movement of the mind towards excellence. 2. The desire of things pertaining to knowledge. 3. Regards bodily movements and actions (including words), which require to be done becomingly and honestly, whether we act seriously or in play. 4. Regards outward show” ~Saint Thomas Aquinas, Doctor of the Church, in the Second Part of the Second Part, Question 160: Modesty, article 1

This goes back to our goal of restoring the culture. The following articles speak to this very topic.
