Dancing Around The Important Stuff

(I am in an AP US History course, shortly after the teacher shows us a video about George Washington.)

Teacher: “One of the things I like about this video is that it mentions some lesser-known facts about our first president. Did anyone else notice when it said he was an excellent dancer? Now, I’ve never been able to find any YouTube videos showing how to dance a minuet like Washington, but I did learn this historical jig!”

(The teacher clicks his mouse, starting a lively song, stands up, and does a jig.)

Teacher: “Who wants to learn the jig? Come on, if you participate in my dancing days I’ll let you teach me your dance moves at the end of the year!”
