Social or ballroom dancing has
]r>ng been frowned upon by mor
alists in Japan. Now it is criti-
cized not not only as indecent
but also as unpatriotic.
To the ever vigilant guardians1
of Japanese morals—that is to!
say1, the metropolitan police—
there is something shamelessly
un-Japanese in the idea of peace-
ful pleasures at home while
brave warriors are going through
hell on the battlefield.
Constant threats are heard in
large cities of Japan to close all
public dance halls. Operators are
warned to reform their business
or prepare to abandon.
The police declared that dance
halls contribute more than their
chare tc,.-ard public immuralitj,
and during a national emergency
such as that arising from the
China conflict, it is heartlessly
unpatriotic to be immoral.
The police charged that mar-
ried Japanese women of respect-
able social positions found dance
halls convenient trysting places
for illicit affairs. Moreover, they
said, such places breed unholy
thoughts and unsocial relations
among the young and more or
less innocent. Besides, ballroom
dancing, or at least the modern
version of it, is wicked to begin
with.
Managers and taxi dancers ral-
lied in self-defense. Meetings
were held, protests were made,
and reforms were adopted. Some
places discarded the appellation
of dance hall for an euphemistic
Japanese-sounding term Rut the
police were not hoodwinked. “A
i;ose by any other name—,” they
said in effect.
Eight Tokyo dance halls post-
ed girl-bouncers at their entranc-
es “to keep out undesirable ele-
, ments.” These girls were of
strong character and determined
mien. They acted as barker,
bouncer and morals examiner,
empowered to refuse admission
to women without proper escorts,
or to any others who failed to
pass muster for one reason or
anther.
But such attempts at self-re- ■
formation seemed to avail little, j
Operating hours were restricted,
tea dances,were bailed and still
the police promise that taxi
dance halls will be padlocked.
The matter has been a subject
of Cabinet und Parliamentary dis-
cussion. Home Minister Nobu-
masa Suetsugu is particularly!
outspoken against social dancing :
as an un-Japanese foreign im-'
portation. By his own admission
he hag never danced himself and
can’t see what pleasure others
get out of it.
