If you're not on your feet by the time the band strikes up or the DJ starts, your favourite uncle or cousin will be along soon to get you up for a waltz, two-step, polka (very common in my family), schottische or lindy. This is common enough that social dancing still features heavily in elementary and high school phys ed!

When I was younger, my mother and I used to practice social dancing in the kitchen on Thursday nights when the oldies channel played dance music (probably for that sole purpose.) Both of my grandfathers and all of my uncles are strong leads but, being a tall girl, I had to learn to lead too!

Sounds very much like my childhood being of German descent my grandparents had get togethers every weekend and dancing was at the fore front all the time, polka's, waltz's were learned at a young age, right after skating! :-) thanks for a lil trip down memory lane!
