Aha! Much of this makes sense...if you are programming a dance that is
meant to be gender-free. This is a much different program than for an open
public dance or a long-running traditional dance series. I am familiar with
Chris. We attended American Week at Pinewoods together once or twice during the
early 90s. I can understand an LGBT group being very sensitive about gender
roles. What I object to is forcing this same naming system on the rest of us.
Most dancers I know much prefer that gender roles be kept, with the
understanding that one might choose to dance the other part if there is a gender
imbalance.
