That is, when there's a large gender disparity, the people doing almost
every dance with the opposite gender are more likely to be booking ahead.
(Note that I don't have any recent experience because the dances I've
been to in the last couple of years have been mostly gender-balenced.)

Instead, I think we should aim any solutions at the people
who dance with those of the opposite gender every single dance, and do not
sit out the entire night. Those are the people who are most competitive
about partnering and book ahead the most.
Not necessarily. They could equally well be known to be superb
dancers and enjoyable partners who simply get asked to dance very
quickly, and never feel a need to book ahead.
