the part of my post you elided, this has long been a source of tension

or thousands of years.
Your point about people disrupting the dance with flourishes is
appropriate, but I don't think that making grandiose statements about
community attitudes toward flourishes helps any.

I don't think you need this for the argument; there were flourishes
when I started contra dancing in 1985 (but we called the people who
did them "hot-doggers" and complained about them).
Which "we" are you talking about?
