Re: [Organizers] the band/caller that "no one" likes

I don't think it's a problem for different dances to coexist with different visions and goals. I found David Millstone's essay on the topic to be interesting: http://davidmillstonedance.com/writing/essays/35-essay-hot-dance-philosophty Also, I recently had a discussion with someone who had lived in the northeast some years ago on this general subject. She said that she had stopped going to what was considered the local 'hot' dance while she was there because the mindset of the best dancers dancing to the best music harshed her contra dance buzz. Probably the best action that could be taken by an organizer of a dance that "everyone" likes would be to express a clear vision and strengths of that series rather than to take action against another organizer for having a different vision or niche.
