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

<DIV>> Square dancing like most public functions has always needed a dress code.</DIV>
<DIV>></DIV>
<DIV>> Prefer to wear traditional dance clothing however in my real life would</DIV>
<DIV>never</DIV>
<DIV>> wear a dress this short, nevertheless with layers of petticoats along with</DIV>
<DIV>> petti-pants one can adapt. One of the nice things about dressing</DIV>
<DIV>traditional</DIV>
<DIV>> is women look like ladies and all the men gentlemen. This is very</DIV>
<DIV>> good for the ID allowing both sexes to feel special. Be it feminine for</DIV>
<DIV>the</DIV>
<DIV>> ladies along with masculine for the gentleman makes for a healthy fun</DIV>
<DIV>night out.</DIV>
<DIV>></DIV>
<DIV>> Personally do not believe that changing from requiring people to</DIV>
<DIV>> be well groomed to allowing them to wear anything will bring more</DIV>
<DIV>> people into square dancing.</DIV>
<DIV>></DIV>
<DIV>> Personally would not enjoy dancing very close to people who do not</DIV>
<DIV>> feel to need to be well groomed at a public function. Many people</DIV>
<DIV>> attend public functions in clothes what should be used to clean their</DIV>
<DIV>> attic stating they want to be comfortable.</DIV>
<DIV>></DIV>
<DIV>> If slacks are allowed we have to state what kind, how tight, and or dressy.</DIV>
<DIV>> Shorts, how short, tight, and or how dressy.</DIV>
