[quote=Anonymous]I am in my 40's and do not know how to dance (not in the traditional sense).  My husband is the same.  I can't even follow someone who does know how to lead.    When we find ourselves unavoidably expected to dance (such as at our own wedding) we have to watch the other couples to see which hand goes where.  When we attend a function with dinner and dancing, we leave right after dinner.  It is embarrassing, but neither of us has the time or the energy to take dance classes right now.

My mom taught me etiquette as she knew it - the 1950's version - but I am still unsure at times about what is and is not proper.

There was something similar to the cotillion / Mrs. Simpson's in my hometown, and I was invited, but I was a scholarship student at the private school I attended and my family did not have the means to send me.  Although my friends griped about going, I wanted nothing more than to join them.

Our kids will be going if they are invited.  I wish I had had that grounding in etiquette and basic dancing skills and I am happy that we have the means to do this for them.[/quote]
