Here is an opportunity to say to the organizers, "I understand your intent
is to avoid certain language, but your proposed substitute doesn't work for
me because I use 'walk around' to mean something else. I would prefer to
use [such and such] or another alternative to avoid confusion. Does that
work for your community?" This is a conversation between you and the
organizers, which will ideally result in clearer communication at the dance
itself. But if they don't want to budge, then you've hopefully communicated
that their rigidness is hindering you from presenting a good program. After
all, we're here to serve the dancers.

Thanks,
