7th grade, in a Catholic K-8 school. Central Valley CA, early 80s. 

Class consisted of 26 boys and 13 girls. It was.........awkward.

Yes, jr high in the 80s, alamand left, swing your partner do se do, and there was something to the right but i can't remember what.  

 
Yes, both in the Chicago and St. Louis burbs.

Our football coach taught sex ed, hunter safety, and square dancing.  Either he was a well rounded dude or baby's don't really get delivered by a stork.

 
:lmao:   Fifth grade, 1982, in Catholic school.   What guys they had left after preaching masturbation and per-marital sex were wrong , they lost to this.

It was a real WTF moment.  :lmao:

Also yes in Wisconsin in late ‘70s/early ‘80s.

Also made us do jump rope during school - not good enough for double dutch though.

I was either a junior or senior in HS in NW PA in the early 80s when we did it in gym class. 

I couldn't figure out why a homely girl named Brenda kept ending up as my partner. Turns out she was arranging it. :bag:  I was clueless.

Yes.  Good guy.  

Funny story:

At our HS graduation somebody started passing out marbles out of a big bag.  The plan was that when we got our diplomas we would hand a marble to our principal as we shook his hand. “What’s he going to do with 120 marbles haw haw haw!”

But when the first grad went across the stage we saw that we whould be shaking hands with Bishop Madera first and not our principal.  

We were a bunch of tools but not toolish enough to prank the Bishop.  

I can still remember the sound of 100+ marbles bouncing down the risers.

 
Yep--late 70's--5th or 6th grade. Colorado

Just remember always trying to line up with the girl you wanted to dance with and inevitably having embarrassingly sweaty hands when it came time for it. 

 
Honestly, don't recall.  My exposure to square dancing may have been limited to television viewing.  Lived alll over the country during elementary years.  Middle school and high school split between Atlanta, Edwards AFB and Burke, VA (70-77).

Did learn Texas Two Step sophomore year at UNL...

In a bar.

 
We did square dancing in gym class all 4 years of high school in New York.  It would start right after Thanksgiving and go until Christmas Break.  The last day of school before break, the entire afternoon was a hoedown competition with a bunch of teachers as judges.  I graduated in 2000.

 
Miami, public schools, 5th grade, late 60s, dosey doe is all I remember. My daughters, Miami late 90s, public schools, early 00s, never, even while in the FFA while in middle school.

Did you go to SJM? 

 
Not sure what kind of dance it was, but I definitely remember one of the dances we learned was set to Bad Bad Leroy Brown by Jim Croce.
