I think a bit of context is in order. This topic was originally started in a thread
about teaching young children at school. In this context I agree with Dan Pearl's
post about not correcting it.
My 2 cents.

At our weekly contra I would discourage it in a tactful way.

Arms folded in dosidos? I DO "correct" it
for three reasons:
1) If you implicitly condone it by saying nothing, then others will copy
it and it will spread even more.
2) If these people then ever go to a contra dance they are going to look
decidedly uncool, perhaps to their embarrassment.
3) If they ever want to add spins to their dosidos, then it is MUCH
easier without arms folded - your arms help you balance and can aid your
spinning.
