Maybe it’s my mother’s southern roots or maybe it’s the fact that I’ve lived in Ye Olde NC for the past eleven years, but I grew up with a plethora of books about manners, cotillion, and Walter Schalk’s Ballroom Dance Class (who didn’t love getting their feet stomped on or waltzing with their arch nemesis?).
