I must have fallen asleep during a discussion of "ladies". What's the
issue?

I’ve got a gypsy star dance (I actually call it “Star Wrong” and not just because of the
g-word, but because if you say “gypsy star” everybody starts to gypsy and NOT star, so I
gave up on that confusing terminology). Haven’t seen another dance like it. The move from
mad robin into the star wrong actually flows quite well. I use men and women for roles,
not genders. When I first started calling, we considered “lady” to be a four letter word -
women’s movement and bra burning and all that. I still find it hard to use the word “lady”
and not bristle. Times have changed, now people bristle at men and women. Go figure. I
didn’t correct the “g-word” use on this version
