Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Boy, when I was in high school all the young folks, boys included, went all out for “kicker dancing”.
Good for you! Being close in height would make dancing much more enjoyable!
Would you like to learn to dance?
Well I can show you that
Gotta book here with all you need to know ...
Would you like to learn to sing?
I can teach you that
Here's an old song that's good for the start
You can sing all the high parts if you really try
And I'll play along the tune on my guitar...
Would you like to learn to love?
Well, that's somethin' else again
I can show you how to sing and smile and dance
Oh I have no keys to open your heart
And no way that I could make you take the chance
And so we'll dance around the room again
And we'll sing a tune or two to pass the time

To paraphrase a corny line from Phil Liggett - I do my dancing on the pedals.
Texas-style Country Western Dance. Mostly couples, but occasionally a line dance. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country–western_danceWhat is "kicker dancing"--is it a Texas thing?

I met my future wife when she asked me to dance 37 years later, it's still a theme of ours. In fact, I recently wrote a song, had it produced, and recorded, called "Would you like to Dance?" So dancing is always special to me
Aww sweet
It’s called the Texas Two Step here.Thanks! Here in the mountains of NC we do a similar dance--we call it "mountain 2 step". We also do some line dancing.

Real blast from the past for me. I haven’t been to a Texas dance hall in decades.
Pre Covid DH and I danced the 2 step every weekend (along with other dances).
Went to a couple of sock hops with DW (long before we were an item - just friends, really.) So she and all the girls got out and danced and all but a few guys sat along the walls. There WAS this one guy who got out and did these fantastic moves (sort of John Travolta long before anyone had ever heard of him.) He even did this "Egyptian" dance (picture Steve Martin doing King Tut and you might get the idea.) BUT any other guy there ONLY went out on the floor to "get the girl."
So, when I started getting interested in DW (a little less long before we were an item, heh, heh) I had this brain storm. I'll take dancing lessons - since she already knows how to dance. So a dozen lessons later (and minus a fair chunk of change) I ask DW (etc. etc.) to a Jr. High dance. Turns out, DW (etc.) had NO idea how to dance - at least not the waltz, the box step, swing, etc. She just got out on the floor and moved (well.)
I've come to believe it's a difference between the sexes. Girls don't worry about what they look like dancing. I think they instinctively know that they look good (to us guys) if they just move around on the floor. GUYS worry that they will look stoooopidd when they TRY to move. If NOT to the girls, at least they will look stoooopiddd to other guys - almost WORSE when you're 14 or 15.
So, with the exception of the few John Travoltas, guys don't like to dance. I'm sure they can learn but why? They will STILL think they look stooooopidddd. Maybe I'm just thinking about my own situation, but I'm guessing I'm right - but YMMV.
I once square danced in 7th grade gym class
