[Squaredancing] NSDC Attendance

[Bob Ensten]

Jim, the problem I have with your argument below is that those who oppose the "Traditional Attire" dress code would not have been able to attend your panel discussion.  So you really have no idea what percent agree with it and what percent oppose it.  Why not include that as a part of your ARTS survey at places OTHER than at the NSDC?

  During the NSDC in Charlotte there were first time Convention attendees who participated in some of the panels who expressed their approval of the dress code - while they may not represent all new dancers, they did not have a problem with the dress code.  One of the ladies admitted that when she started dancing she did not agree with the attire - and even though no one pressured her into wearing "Traditional Attire" she has willingly adopted the attire.

   

  There seems to be more support for the "Traditional Attire" than some of dancers are willing to recognize.
