"There is No Harm in Dancing" by W. E. (William Evander) Penn is a forceful argument against the practice of dancing, penned in 1884. Penn, using his background as an evangelist, presents dancing as a root cause of moral decay within society, asserting its role in promoting dishonesty, jealousy, and disrespect for parents. He illustrates how participation in dancing creates opportunities for sinful behavior and contributes to larger problems such as alcoholism, gambling, and violence. The author passionately urges men to safeguard the virtue of women by steering them away from the supposed dangers of dancing, promoting a rejection of this activity for a more morally upright lifestyle.
