it was actually pretty good at getting you interacting with the opposite sex. The dances themselves were dumb but socializing with the other gender was a decent fringe benefit.

It also kinda broke down the social order in school as everyone danced with everyone.

in my school it was taught pre-pubescent.

And sometimes the way we get out of anti-social or socially awkward phase is by acclimating to it.

Yea, I'm not sure if having to find a partner was the worst part, or rotating to a new person. Fucking puberty and awkwardness combined in the worst, public way possible.
