Maybe this a QLD school thing but does anyone remember having to learn to dance in high school? Like you'd learn the waltz and one other dance (mine was the cha cha) and then to pass you had to dance with the sports teacher (male teacher for the girls, female sport teacher for the boys).

Friend of mine just gave me a wild flashback to that part of my schooling, and adult me is thinking how fkn wild it was you had to get handsy with a teacher for a few minutes in the name of education.

God no. Didn't even do dance in high school.

It was a mandatory part of year 8/9 Phys Ed (usually somewhere in semester 1), you couldn't attend the mid-year school dance if you didn't pass.
