Back in the day at Primary School-The School for the young we always had to do these evil acts.
They claimed it was to better ourselves but i knew better it was all about the Stupid Flower Power Hippy Lefto Pinko Commie Jew Conspiracy!!!
Why couldnt we go outside and play sport?
Something that was actually fun like Danish Rounders which incidently is nine times better than Baseball?
Because Folk Dancing actually encourages Friendship unlike Sport which encourages mateship something which is 12 times more valuable as the feeling you get after destroying you opponents on the glorious plains of Combat wielding your magical blade with such precise movements smacking that ball to the edge of the world and watching those useless chooks of opponents chasing after it while you round the bases and get that Home Run!
Then that Bain which is Folk Singing why would anyone want to sing about Hippy rubbish and all you are is stuck inside instead of out in the lovely warmth of the sun.
Heck i never song those stupid songs i would mouth them dammit!
Your thoughts.

I remember having to do that in primary school. And I remember hating it with a passion.
Thus, I think it should be compulsory. Damn kids.

We did a few folk-musicy things in primary school. Damn sight better than the silly sport things.
Who cares about hitting or kicking balls around?
Why run when you can walk?

Exactly. I'm not going to claim that having to do the folk-dancing crap did me any good, because it didn't. I'm going to be honest and say that I want the kids to suffer like I did because I'm a spiteful bastard.

But most are Lardarses and watching Gunter run after a tennis ball would be fun.

Folk music really pwns.Not if you´re forced to prance around to it like a fairy,but if you´re drunk as hell and you wanna get the party started.Just put on some Dubliners or Pogues and you got yourself one helluva carouse :)

Yeesh. Can't say any of those experiences were something they put us through.
Wait, no, maybe.....in sixth grade, we were told it would be a requirement to do dance in Phys Ed, and the only options they gave us were ballet and line dancing.
An overwhelming amount chose ballet.

Tough choice.
They dont need to get rid of folk dancing, they just need to have decent folk dancing.
So far as I know from kids in primary and intermediate schools, they still teach the same tired boring "Anglo-Westernised" folk-dancing I learned when I was in school.
If they updated the content and actually went out of their way to include stuff that is fun, then it might actually stand of chance of being fun.

I go to folk music festivals... Well... festivals that have a lot of folk music... but other things as well... actually I hate folk music.

Really? That's a lot of different types of music to hate!

Morris?
Not as in The "Gibb" obviously. No, the ancient spring fertility dance! There's an odd tradition in Northern England for girls morris (http://www.freewebs.com/nettysmob/index.htm). Riverdance is isn't, but perhaps that's a good thing. Wickerman (http://www.tylwythteg.com/WICKERMAN/WickerMan.html) anybody?

I want to make it clear that those people are not from the north.Thankfully, in the real north morris dancing is frowned upon in all its ghastly forms.

The Duchy of Northumberland has a retinue of pipers, not dudes with bells on their feet. So no morris north of the Tyne. Also, the fertility ritual there is wearing tee-shirts in winter, accompanied by the ritual giving of regal king size "tabs" and tenants super.

Pah. More Northumbrian Pictish revisionism... rapper and clog dancing are just footnotes, eh?
