If folding arms gets them to dance don't try to "unlearn it" at a school..
What the heck, it means they actually "learned" some dancing at one point. It
would only happen if someone else taught them that before.. sometimes they do dancing in
gym class.. This is more often to happen in a family dance with all ages.. I often joke
they don't have to cross their arms like they were "Russian Cossacks" but if
they want to what the heck..

It seems to be national - I've used it is in the south and west coast as well,
although usually I have to explain "we are no longer
in old country" for those inculcated with the folded-arms version so popular in
grade school. :-)
Thanx, Ric

On of my co-callers when teaching at our dance always refers to
do-si-do as "just like you learned in 4th grade" and most do remember
that one move. Maybe a New England thing? Anyway, you can drive that
tradition of adults remembering do-si-do.

learning curve beforehand...
Consider using singing games/playparties instead.
