I'm not even sure if men and women danced in the same circles. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> no, they did not, men were on one side of the room and women on the other. it was not until recent years ( with in the last hundred plus ) that it became acceptable for men and women to dance together at such events..... look up the history of the Israeli wedding dance and some of the others such as the almond harvest dance and other festive dances. if a person has ever watched Fiddler on the Roof, you might see how it was done in the days gone by. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably the biggest turn off I saw in the 90s The chicken dance The bird dance The funky chicken The mashed potatoe Stop me when I hit the sleazy one. Can you really generalize in this topic?

My husband and I used to go dancing quite often when we were first married. I don't believe that all dancing is good or that all dancing is wrong. It all boils down to what is in the heart. Just like anything else...walking can also be made out to be very provocative if one lets it. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should mention this. A couple of days ago, I met with an old friend who has been majoring in dance. She mentioned how the waltz was considered taboo when it first came out because it involved two unmarried people holding each other close as only a married couple should. How about line dancing? It's probably the biggest turn off I saw in the 90s I like line dancing (Where's my pie-in-face image when I need it?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hora, Tango, breakdancing, Irish Stepdancing, russian, or German. Any type of dancing. It's good excercise. It's in the Bible. Personally I don't enjoy dancing. But when it strongly simulates sexual acts. The line has been crossed. BTW: What is Praise Dancing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
