[Squaredancing] Discussion on the National in Charlotte Dresscode

[Brenda]

Since those who want to dress in a very casual manner are very 
few in number why not have one small hall just for them.

Dresscode
 
I was right in there with ya', up until the point where you started to
impose your preference on others.  You have the right to wear whatever you 
choose.
  So does everyone else.  You do -not- have the right to impose  your
choices
on others.
 
Still, let's recognize the cold reality that  square dancers are accustomed
to dictating a dress code.  That's why I  propose big events have a hall
(ONE
hall) where the dress code is strictly  enforced.  Those who enjoy telling
others what to wear, and those who enjoy  being told what to wear, can dance
in
the Dress Code hall.
 
Problem  solved.
