Ah, but you have to understand that we very young Americans are often fascinated by the long histories of older civilizations. I've always been geekily interested in British history and liked tracing back the history of this area to the Norman conquest, the derivation of the name etc.
But I didn't want to wade through a dozen links to rituals and fertility rites, so I thought I'd ask about the dancing :-)
Yes, I can imagine line dancing would evoke that reaction. I've never figured it out either except that it appears to be an anti-fertility rite. So very unattractive. . .
