I hated it as a young angst filled Clash/Jam fan (in spite of my Lacostes). When I got to UNC years later I discovered an astounding fact - memorialized by southern native Don Dixon - most of the girls like to dance but only some of the boys do. That I could dance, that I would dance and that I was actually halfway decent paid dividends I had never imagined. I still owe her a thank you. I can't hold a candle to those two - they are on a different level. But I for darn sure could manage a long neck while directing my partner around the dance floor, unless we were going to take on a few death drops.
