square  dance clothes), but dressed up (she had been working a vendor

This was one of the things the Tony Oxendine brought up at a recent  seminar. 
 He feels that we are chasing away new dancers by requiring  them to look a 
certain way.  We have lost 80% of dancers in the past  20 years.  We have to do 
anything and everything we can to attract  new dancers and closing the door 
in their face because they aren't dressed  properly is not the way to do it.
