Subject: RE: Folklore: Adopting Alien Traditions
Well..can't say. I personally love the polkas and oompa bands etc.

We were taught by Irish nuns in school..and they and perhaps some mothers were almost terrified by the thought that we would be in a situation some day where we had to dance the schottice and would not know how to. So we would go up and down the gym floor doing 1 2 3 hop 1 2 3 hop..never put it together with twirls or anything..just hopped. Were other people exposed to this fear of not being able to dance the schottice..?I can't spell it but I can sort of dance it. mg
