Dancing David

Although I grew up within a stone's throw from Wheaton College, my family never had any real difficulty with dancing. Nevertheless, the only dancing I recall doing as a child was Greek folk dancing, something that the local college seems never to have prohibited, presumably because it carried no sexual overtones.

A few years later, as a graduate student in Toronto in the late 1970s, I would occasionally accompany friends to a bar where there was disco dancing. But when I would take to the floor to trip the light fantastic, my steps inevitably resembled, well, Greek folk dancing.
