"How do you know that Cora had insisted Regina receive dancing lessons?"

How do you know that Cora HADN'T insisted Regina receive dancing lessons? Myself and others gave reasons such as, Enchanted Forest is based on medivial times, and it is quite standard for nobility to know how to dance, go to balls for social and poltical benefits. Cora herself was a peasant that wormed her way in royalty and was seen going to a ball when she herself was a peasant. And Cora insisted on etiquette lessons for Regina as evidence on screen, telling how a "proper lady" should sit on a horse. Everything was for the end goal of pushing her to a queen. A king would actually marry someone that he couldn't even dance with on his wedding day?????

By all means, you can believe that Regina didn't know how to dance and never have been to a ball. But please provide canon evidence on screen for you to deduce that line of thinking. Evidence have been provided to show that it makes sense for Regina to know something basic as nobility as knowing how to dance.
