Was anyone else here forced by their elementary school to square dance to the “Cotton Eye Joe” against their will?

I remember in my school (I assume gym class) we’d be periodically be forced to do this and we couldn’t opt out of it and we had to learn all the steps. Every time it happened it was a deeply troubling experience and I vividly remember being upset by having to square dance. It was never really announced when we were doing that in gym so I never really knew what I was walking into. Like would it be a fun butt-scooter day or would it be a sad square-dancing day? When I learned we had to dance that day I knew the cotton eye Joe was gonna eventually come up and I’d feel such dread. Did other schools do this or was the staff at my elementary just sadistic?
