Maybe this a QLD school thing but does anyone remember having to learn to dance in high school? Like you'd learn the waltz and one other dance (mine was the cha cha) and then to pass you had to dance with the sports teacher (male teacher for the girls, female sport teacher for the boys).
Friend of mine just gave me a wild flashback to that part of my schooling, and adult me is thinking how fkn wild it was you had to get handsy with a teacher for a few minutes in the name of education.
That sounds hilarious. The only dance I learned in school PE was the nut bush.
God no. Didn't even do dance in high school.
It was a mandatory part of year 8/9 Phys Ed (usually somewhere in semester 1), you couldn't attend the mid-year school dance if you didn't pass.
Had that at my high school for sure. Edit: Vic HS, it was a physical education topic
Well would you look at that. I was spared at least one thing!
Yep. Only I went to a girls only boarding school, so we had to practice with mops/brooms in lieu of real meat boys. It was an hour of practice after classes twice a week in year 11. Dances were waltz, foxtrot, cha cha and some old time folk dances like the Pride of Erin, Dashing White Sergeant and Waves of Bondi. The idea was to be able to do the 'social' dancing of our grandmothers' generation. Rock&roll and disco were off the menu.
Meat boys 😹😹😹
God forbid that anything male should pass through its hallowed portals.
Yeah dance was in the PE rotation. As was getting your bra strap snapped by sundry brats. Not fun.
