Jonesboro High Dance Team Disbanded After Racy Routine

Posted: 6:50 am EST January 28, 2009Updated: 11:42 am EST January 28, 2009

JONESBORO, Ga. -- A high school dance team at Jonesboro High School has been disbanded.

The move announced Tuesday comes after parents complained about a provocative dance routine that was performed by the 8-member group at a Jan. 13 basketball game.

Jacqueline Evans, a school district spokeswoman, said the squad will not be allowed to perform or represent the school for the remainder of the school year.

A video showing the dance, titled "The Sluts of Jonesboro," had also been posted on YouTube, but has since been removed from the web site.

"The team will not perform for the remainder of the year, nor will they represent the school in any other performances,” Evans said Tuesday.

Evans said the girls will not face disciplinary action.
