A newsletter I get contained the following quote written around 1910:

  "Young men and young women may work systematically six days in the week
and rise fresh in the morning, but let them attend modern dances for only a
few hours each evening and see what happens.  The Waltz, Polka, Gallop and
other dances of the same kind will be disastrous in their effects to both
sexes.  Health and vigor will vanish like the dew before the sun.
  "It is not the extraordinary exercise which harms the dancer, but rather
the coming into close contact with the opposite sex.  It is the fury of lust
craving incessantly for more pleasure that undermines the soul, the body,
the sinews and nerves.  Experience and statistics show beyond doubt that
passionate excessive dancing girls can hardly reach twenty-five years of age
and men thirty-one.  Even if they reached that age they will in most
instances be broken in health physically and morally.  This is the claim of 
prominent physicians in this country."
