White people don’t know how to dance because they lost their folk traditions in assimilation, but those traditions have been kept alive by gay hippies in the woods. Even if you’re a WASP, why not learn some Morris or English Country Dance? It’s so old, it’s precolonial! If you really need to assuage those weird feelings about enjoying something European, you can also go learn some Lindy Hop and tell yourself “yeah Lindy Hop is definitely the superior dance. Black people are still better than me at dancing and that’s okay. I will also enjoy my own traditional dances too.” I think this is kind of silly and unnecessarily self-flagellating but if that’s what it takes to get you all to dance then I’ll take it.

Fill the void with something that isn’t power. Fill it with joy and community. Learn to Kolo, and then share it with your family members, and with people from other racial and ethnic groups. You maybe can’t fully disown your position as white in our racial caste system, but what if you made something else more salient. What if being a EuroAmerican Mutt isn’t a matter of impurity and low-status. What if it doesn’t mean you have no culture or heritage. What if it means you have four to eight paths to explore to find fun new songs and dances! Four to eight new languages to learn!
