The best thing they could do for these kids, and for all kids, for socializing, is force them to go to a weekly social dance class for about a year when they are 12.

Unless, of course, one is of the belief that dancing is sinful, which is surely the case with at least some of these families.

You just got me thinking about dancing. I haven't danced socially since I was in college. We were doing the twist then. I remember being a teenager going to my first dances at the Y and imagining what a Martian (or maybe an anthropologist from the future) might think if he saw people doing that. It seemed so utterly bizarre. Anyway, I have danced for exercise--aerobic dance, belly dancing, etc. I incorporate dance into my daily pool routine. But I cannot imagine ever wanting to get on a dance floor socially. I can understand why others might like it, but it has always seemed an alien practice to me.
