Henry Ford was a Square Dancer?


~~~~~~~~~Barney the Stoneskipper ~~~~~~~~

And who knew? Henry Ford was an innovator in square dance.

“Square and Round Dancing:
The decline in popularity of the old-time sets was addressed by American automobile magnate Henry Ford. Ford, who drew on his assembly-line methods for breaking down tasks in car manufacturing, worked with dance teacher Lloyd "Pappy" Shaw to create a system for standardizing and calling square dance moves that has been credited with popularizing modern square dance around the world.” - The Canadian Encyclopedia
