Absolutely. As long as they can dance in the first place you will be able to teach one to dance in 6 weeks - even you.

It depends what level you're aiming at. You want to be Todd McKenney? Give it a few years. But if you want to be able to do a basic and interesting-to-watch routine, six weeks should be just about enough, provided you have a bit of coordination and a natural rhythm.

Of course you can. But only if the person who is being taught wants to learn. So if you don't let me know now and i will teach someone else.

if the other boys can do it so can you.

I am willing and (hopefully) able. I have been practising evey now and then. God knows if i am practising the right stuff but hey its all leg movement which hopefully helps anyway.
