Re: Homeschoolers and dancing

Steve wrote:We are very involved in the homeschool movement. One thing we have found unusual, is the emergence of DANCING as a way of social interaction for the young people! Most of the folks are your Duggar typ folks.....VERY conservative. A lot of them choose to court instead of date, like someone mentioned the Duggar family does.

The problem is getting young men and women together in a non-threatening environment so they can meet some folks of the opposite sex in a non sexual way.


Steve, I'm totally with you on this. When I was in Chicago I was starving for human relationships, so I tried out dancing lessons. I went only until my ineptitude got too embarrassing and I could tell that the women were frustrated with me not knowing how to lead them. But it was immediately clear that dancing was a galant, chivalrous context to court. I thought, This is exactly what conservatives would value: an activity that has clearly defined roles for men and women, where courtesy and grace are paramount, and where meeting people of the opposite sex is within a fun, family environment.

Oh, I forgot to mention the pole. I thought, conservatives like firemen, and firemen like poles, so conservatives should really like dancing!

I know what you mean. I have to be the world's absolute worst dancer. I'd be the William Hung of "So You Think You Can Dance". If you ever watched Elaine Benes dance on Seinfeld, she's (insert famous dancer here) compared to me. :lol:
