Thanks HJ and many others for thoughtful and useful advise.

I like this:

"meeting & getting to know potential marriage partners under parental controlled conditions.... "

Social dance has always been versions of this delightful comment.

We did a Ceilidh for Asylum Seekers in Manchester. I did question the sensitivity of a Ceilidh for what could be a largely Muslim audience but was reassured that it would be Ok. And it certainly was. It was not a fund raiser for supporters but a fun raiser for Asylum Seekers! Calling to a collection of people from Afghanistan, the Gulf, Rwanda, Libia, Syria, Iraq and other places was a bit of a challenge but once they got "The Swing of it" much fun was had and the band were cheered and clapped to the doors! Not everybody joined in mut I thin most did.

The point :- The power of English Social Dance to bring pleasure to who ever joins in - and most people will given the right circumstances.

Strictly? Not a patch on Top couples down!
