The Dancing Class
A Memory of Motherwell.
Another memory I have of Brandon High is being taught Scottish Country Dancing, an ordeal exacerbated by the fact that boys and girls were otherwise segregated and consequently perceived one another as members of an alien species. Girls would enter the gym through one door and boys another, then made to line up facing one another like opposing armies before reluctantly having to take a dancing partner. There were many times when I clumsily trod on a girl’s toes during The Dashing White Sergeant and my unfortunate partner would mutter insults in return. Of all the classes I dreaded in those days, the dancing one comes high on the list!
