I point to the contra dance scene (revived in the late 60's and early 
70's) as a counter example.  They have no dress code, newcomers welcome 
at every dance, are holding their own in attendance, have dances, 
weekends, and week long dance camps, along with festivals and the lack 
of a dress code has not caused any of the problems that us MWSD folks 
fear.
