Poll: How many X Markers Dance?

[Caradoc]

I don't recall ever seeing anyone come or go from that building, but I wanted to learn to dance. When I informed my mother of this, she looked at me sideways with a slightly worried look and said, "That's not something boys do."

(snip)

The corps du ballet was comprised of a dozen girls and two guys.

Mother was apparently right.

For several years in grade school, I was sent off to learn ballroom dancing and etiquette in "Junior Assembly."

I did learn to waltz and foxtrot. Anything more risks injury to my partner and/or bystanders.

And when I was doing theater in high school, there were approximately ten girls to every straight boy in the department.

Theater and/or ballet can make for quite good odds for straight men...

The Shag?!! How delightfully randy! It was really called that?

I knew someone (originaly) from across the pond would chime in here and YES that's exactly what it is called. In the early Eighties period when we were in school and were'nt otherwise avoiding classes we were dressed in starched button down shirts and either embroidered corduroy pants or something made from madras and were in the bars "shagging". It's a bit of an anachronism but we had a helluva good time with it.
