I attended the first public school in the USA to voluntarily integrate its student body. The American Friends Service Committee held a conference for the students to discuss issues of race relations. A group of us informally talked about why the black kids danced so much better than the white kids. The black kids said they had to practise like hell to dance well. Like sports, dancing was an area in which they felt they could excel.

PS: For a time I knew how to do the moves; mostly the Jerk, the Philly and the Philly Dog. Then hippie dancing came in, and its moves were all inside one's very stoned mind. Anything you did looked trippy under a strobe light.
