PE the musical way
By MARGIE SANTAMARIA
Several times a week the second
floor of G. Rollie White Coliseum
vibrates as dance enthusiasts “cut a
rug” to the sounds of ballroom
music.
Pamela D. Morton, health and
physical education instructor at
Texas A&M University, teaches 214
students in her four beginning and
one intermediate dance classes.
“I teach the fundamentals of all
dance, including the fox-trot, cha-
cha, waltz, polka, jitterbug, and
rumba,” Morton said recently. “I
enjoy the student’s acceptance of so
cial dance.” After the first few
classes, students are not as inhibited,
she said.
With the help of one other dance
instructor, Morton also teaches
square dancing, folk dancing,
modern dancing, ballet, and tap
dancing.
“Social dancing is the most popu
lar, Morton said.
There must be an even number of
women and men in each class for
obvious reasons. As a result, many
students were unable to enroll.
The more serious dancers at A&M
are members of the Dance Art Soci
ety, the Social Dance Club, or both.

Morton sponsors the Social Di
Club.
“When there is a big ml
dance coming up. I’m often aslii

sion,” Morton said.
“If they (the students) don’ll
the time to take a dance class,
should get into the Social Di
Club. It’s much easier to learnm
those circumstances than from
date.”
Ballroom dancing, now called
cial dancing, is performed witi

preting and expressing mi
rhythm, movement, style, and
tural characteristics.
Historically, social dancing k
roots in folk dancing, the oldest
