Wasn't it you that taught me to "Lead by example"?  >

Every soldier should have the chance to move with the grace of Al Pacino in "Scent of a Woman".  A smooth Tango will melt any lady's ice-encrusted heart, right Vern!  See: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBHhSVJ_S6A

Oooh this is rather interesting. A few years ago the Young Gentlemen who were responsible to take the then Debutantes to the Garrison Mil Ball were required, as part of their duties to take Ball Room dancing lessons. The members who partook in this event took their Debutantes to the 'E' Division Head Quarters which was a BEAUTIFUL turn of the century mansion, where they were instructed in the finer arts of the Waltz.

Needless to say, I did not partake in such an event. I found it to be tasteful, but the $1500 bill that came to going to the Mil Ball which included a $1200 Mess Dress and then another $200 boooze fee (you who have to spend time with 16-17yrs old girls went free) for the War Story Swapping Society was too hefty on my then subby rank.

Would I have done Ball Room? OH HELL YEAH! Nothing beats a Naval Officer in Full WHITES and a lovely young lady in your arms moving to... uh... um...moving along now...

There has been a Social Dance Club in Kingston for many years and is quite popular. Also, for the last 2 years in a row (at least), the Fieldhouse in Kingston has hosted an international level dance competition. Very cool to watch, much better than tv.

Wook

Perhaps. There's always the Horizontal Tango, the Pelvic Polka, the Hippy Hippy Shake --- you know ... many variations upon a theme.

Not always conducive to melting ones heart though. I'm just saying is all.

With all the different sports that members of the Forces are involved in, I'm curious whether there's any organized dances?  Especially Ballroom dancing.

If not, do you think creating a club for Dance would go over well in general? (Former dance instructor, wouldn't mind passing along some skills)

I don't know what base you are near Stirling, but my wife and I took Ballroom Dancing when we were posted out west and it was a blast.  Wouldn't mind doing it again.  My wife hasn't a rythmic bone in her body poor gal, so she may need a few additional lessons!
