[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They learn manners. That can't be bad. Isn't a LGBTQ issue[/quote]

It is if the idea of girls dancing with other girls is so scary that they'd rather exclude girls who want to participate.[/quote]

This is a little too glib. When you learn to dance, you learn the steps based on whether you lead or follow. Learning both is an advanced skill, and you don't usually learn both at the same time. Especially in a once-a-month class for kids where dancing is only part of the program: there's just not time for that level of dance instruction.

So if girls are dancing with other girls, one of them is learning to lead. I would not assume that a gay girl, even if out, necessarily wants to learn to lead. It would be very weird to put that pressure on her to choose. And a straight girl presumably does not want to learn to lead.

What you want is a cotillion class that doesn't include ballroom dancing.[/quote]

What about a cotillion where everyone learns to be both leaders and followers.[/quote]

Have you ever taken ballroom lessons? It's not a simple thing to learn both parts of multiple dances. 
And again, this is not primarily a dance class - we're talking about 90 minutes once a month, to cover all kinds of topics. [/quote]
