I was sent to ballroom dancing class as a 10 year old. Boys sat on one side, girls on the other side of the room. Boys would cross the dance floor and say, "May I have the pleasure of this dance?"

I hated that class will all my heart. Hated, hated, hated it!

Fifty years later I still cringe.

You should try again. Believe me, 50 years later all the ladies want to dance with you.

You just didn’t look at it the right way. My mother made me take Ballroom Dancing when I was 12. A little later it turned it turned that I was pretty much the only boy that knew how to dance without stomping all over their toes.

I had pretty much my pick of dance partners AND dates after that.

Thanks, Mom.

I hated dance class too. It was called Fortnightly and was held on West End Avenue in Nashville. I would have sooner parachuted alone into North Vietnam or volunteered to work for free in the sewer.

Girls were fine but I knew this was a set up to put me at my awkward worst. I was never able to dance the foxtrot or the boardwalk after dance school...somehow it was never something people did after that time.
