How many of you been in an May Pole Dance as an kid?

Or for that matter made" May Flower" baskets also...just wondering.  I wonder how the "Dancing with the Stars" group would take to doing an routine around that one.  I remeberin grade school we use to take pretty ribbons and make patterns as we danced along with them in our hands around an May Pole, whole school use to put on an show for the parents on the weekend....and left May flower Baskets all over the neighborhood also. Mother's Day in the USAis this month also. I think you Brits have already celebrated yours, or someone mentioned that not to far long ago...any Ideas for us this year? Does the POE grouse Club do May Pole dances as an way to work off the celebration booze is the question...smiles*

Yeah, I danced around the Maypole Shirley when I was about 8 or 9 years old at Primary School. The last time I did it, I was outside the Red Lion having had  wee dram or two, but didn't realize the Maypole was a tree whilst I was hanging onto a rope and tyre that the kids used as a  swing! lol

Must remember to take more water with it eh?

Definately Ron, definately....someone took this idea to braid ribbons in the long hair of the kids also...or did you know that one?...each ribbon color represents some symbolic meaning and how it crosses and the pattern it makes....getting complicated these days. I saw one little girl whom they had bradied her hair with ribbons and it looked like an bowl on top of her head of all things. Of course that was an rather exoctic way to do hair bradiing. But they have not been without using pearls and prescious stones also in litle girls hair too.
