<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A certain dress code could be desirable for the 'flavor of it all' like in</DIV>
<DIV>ballroom dancing you expect heels and gowns, and lindy hop ankle socks!</DIV>
<DIV>There is something very special to see everyone 'dressed up' but it's</DIV>
<DIV>important that the dancers are happy with it! They must be able to wear what</DIV>
<DIV>they want so lets make the attire more attractive to the wants and needs of</DIV>
<DIV>2007, 8, 9, + + + subject to change with the demands. 'Please dress</DIV>
<DIV>according to gender dancing' is downright absurd for the reasons mentioned</DIV>
<DIV>below! It suggests only 'real' couples are allowed to dance! Sounds like</DIV>
<DIV>this mostly benefits the caller.</DIV>
<DIV>I support a dress code suggestion but forcing it on unwilling crowds only</DIV>
<DIV>deters dancing pleasure.</DIV>
<DIV>Cynde</DIV>
<DIV>PS Have you seen those circus acrobats who are wearing one outfit and lift</DIV>
<DIV>and drop a hoop and 'poof' they have on another one on? sounds like same</DIV>
<DIV>gender dancers could use some of those!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>..</DIV>
<DIV>></DIV>
<DIV>> And exactly how much of a pause are you willing to allow between tips</DIV>
<DIV>> while</DIV>
<DIV>> people change costumes to accomplish this ? Remember, it is not until the</DIV>
<DIV>> start of the tip that some people know who their partner will be, and only</DIV>
<DIV>> when the partner is known can there be a discussion as to who will dance</DIV>
<DIV>> which part. Will the rest of you all wait while those folks change ?</DIV>
<DIV>></DIV>
<DIV>> And what if they decide to switch roles for the singing call ? Will</DIV>
<DIV>> the rest of the floor wait for a costume change then as well ?</DIV>
