Considering all of the efforts our dance community makes to be welcoming and inclusive, the title of this dance does just the opposite by appearing unwelcoming and exclusive. Plus, as Mac said, non-profit organizations risk losing their status by taking political stands.

You are  aware that not-for-profits can not take any kind of political stand or they can lose their standing.  Just takes one  dancer on the red side to report you.

I'd check with your attorney before doing this.
