[Squaredancing] clothing

[Cynde Sadler]

It's too bad if clothing turns out to be a 'hot topic' I was at a festival 
in Germany where a couple were asked to leave because they were not dressed 
properly! The flyer had specifically said 'Square Dance Attire required' 
They had traveled far and were heartbroken to say the least. In the end 
someone leant them the money to buy some clothes in the shop on the 
premises. I was very unhappy about this whole thing and felt like you 
do-clothing should left ( a bit) up to the individuals. But if a festival 
insists on a dress code, then maybe they should remind via email or make it 
clear upon registration and have things to lend for people coming from afar 
so this sort of thing can never happen.
A great atmosphere without the complications of alcohol is a wonderful thing 
but squabbling over clothes sort of spoils it!
