Barefoot bikini dancing splits Rimini

(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 30 - Rimini's latest craze, barefoot bikini dancing in beach bars, has split the city council in the Romagna resort from lifeguards and discotheques which are demanding authorities clamp down on it.
    The dancing craze, in the bars and eateries known as chiringuitos, is backed by by former deputy mayor Gloria Lisi who has urged the council to formally approve what is already de facto happening.
    But tourism councillor Juri Magrini has turned her down saying "the beach can't become a disco, there are norms forbidding it".
    Mayor Jamil Sadegholvaad has come out in favour of allowing people to dance in their bathing costumes, but insisted "there must be rules".
    Lifeguards and discos are also demanding "more rules and controls", associations said. (ANSA).
