BRUSSELS - A Belgian nuns acrobatic and indecorous dancing with a missionary during the Catholic World Youth Day in Germany over the weekend earned her a reprimand from her mother superior, a Belgian paper said Tuesday.

Daily Het Laatste Nieuws showed pictures of a dancing Johanne Vertommen being held up in the air by the missionary, and then clinging to him with her legs wrapped around his body.

I wouldnt do this at home but at such occasions I get carried away by the enthusiasm of the group, the 29-year-old told the paper later.

My mother superior raised the issue today: she thinks I should watch out a bit and bear in mind that I represent our community, Vertommen said.
