This was another point that Tony Oxendine made.  He doesn't see  anything 
wrong with people being able to have a drink at a dance.   This was something I 
don't agree with.  I think one of the things  that got me hooked on 
square/round dancing was the fact that there was no  smoke and no alcohol.  Just 
unadulterated fun!  
 
But, although I thoroughly enjoy dancing with a skirt and petticoats,  these 
are things that should not be a necessity for new dancers.   Especially in the 
summer in AZ, where I'm located.  And, special  events shouldn't say, "square 
dance attire required" because that will  surely avert the newbie, who 
doesn't have square dance attire.
