I was hopeless at dancing - no sense of rhythm .. though loved learning the dance in West Side Story, and I won a little china brooch for ballroom dancing at one stage - must have been an encouragement brooch!!<br /><br />Loved your story though .. I hope Barry carries on catching you?!

We didn't have dancing classes at school but the use was that every girl and boy went to dancing school when we were 14/15, then for the first time we were mixed ! Unfortunately I was moved to Brussels just at that time and was so angry with my parents it was such a shock for me to miss such an event ! <br />The German school in Brussels was mixed anyway there were not enough pupils to separate sexes ! So we organized school parties and dancing Rock and Roll we learned all very quickly. Then we had a teacher for classical dances like walse, foxtrott, etc. What a time I was always amongst the tallest, with 13 I had already the size of today, lol !

However, I've enjoyed line dancing and zumba although I'm never sure what I'm doing.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060029060849550094.post-57643154618038606312012-09-19T16:15:17.885+01:002012-09-19T16:15:17.885+01:00@Geeta: you may be sure that it would be Barry who...@Geeta: you may be sure that it would be Barry who posted such a video;-)<br />@Linda: thank you. It's interesting to note that you had to 'endure' dancing, too:-)<br />@Mary: on the contrary, I was fascinated by your account:-) Like you, I need a good leader, but can't put it down to a lack of dancing, lustful or otherwise;-)<br />@Dave: given the opportunity, I'd watch ballet for hours on end. We rent ballet videos from LoveFilm - just wonderful.jabbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176958811589489979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060029060849550094.post-59250888268088296572012-09-19T11:42:48.329+01:002012-09-19T11:42:48.329+01:00I love watching dance - especially ballet - but wh...I love watching dance - especially ballet - but when it comes to myself or me I am the world's most non-dancer. I once had to take a country dance lesson in school, twice a week for a whole term. I thought that any talent the pupils might have had would be ruined for life, but it was not that bad: we did it from a radio broadcast.Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060029060849550094.post-3299060986148790702012-09-19T00:11:40.523+01:002012-09-19T00:11:40.523+01:00I enjoyed this immensely.

I liked it until 5th grade when I apparently made too many mistakes and my evil 5th grade woman teacher grabbed me and twirled me until I thought my arm would leave it's socket. The first boy-girl dance I went to was in 6th grade. I mostly stood and was glad to go home. Grades 7 -10 I was at a Lutheran school and dancing was a sin, as of course dancing meant lust. Back to public school in grade 10 but by then I was so behind everyone who danced without worry of sin for 4 years. I began to dance freely. In college in beer bars after a beer and somehow I found it was fun. But I don't think I ever caught up with others because of those four years I missed. I do like to dance today but need a good leader. This is more than you want toknow, I am sure.

The dogs must be resigned to the fact. Mine are, though they do cock their heads and look surprised to start with!<br /><br />That was a very endearing account of your school days...:O)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04910413735418121137noreply@blogger.com
