Might I suggest at this point there's been enough shared such that folks have figured out where they are on this subject? And, while the discussion has been informative, that further posts will do little to change anyone's beliefs?
If that's accepted, I further suggest we move forward with our own personal belief and act as conscience dictates:
- Should you wish to continue with the status quo call, then do so and incorporate whatever learning you've taken from this exchange to improve your teaching and leading. Your further experience and learning from dance participants may inform your future view.
- Should you be motivated to change the term, have a conversation with
your dance organizer(s) and try out an alternate
call/description, should they be willing - see how it goes. That
learning may inform the culture by example.
