Dance history in higher education at the university of California, riverside, 1953–1993

Before I moved to California in 1952, I was one of those teachers who taught as only one of the subjects subsumed under Physical Education, generally known as P.E. I also taught archery, badminton, basketball (divided court with guards on one end and forwards on the other), field hockey, golf, horseback riding, soccer, softball, swimming (three levels plus life-saving and water safety), tennis, and volleyball. Under the academic title rhythms-the term dance representing a not acceptable sin in my Christian college-I taught modern (in the early years of that new form, rhythms per se were taught') and ballroom, folk, social, and square dance. A few I taught well: basketball (I was from a state in which basketball had a large place in the school system), swimming, and ballroommy adolescence having been spent in the ballrooms of the Big Bands and I had a boyfriend who danced. In the other classes, I taught the rules, ran drills out of a book, scheduled time on links, fields, and courts, and let the kids play. As far as I knew, history did not exist or I suppose I would have felt obligated to teach it as well
