Re: [Organizers] Transition to ungendered dances

What I hear from my local community (I'm an organizer in other neighboring communities as well) is they would be confused by that sort of change to a traditional dance. And, no one is asking for it. If we were to transition non bird references would be further explored.  Laurie West MI ~ When I dance, I cannot judge, I cannot hate, I cannot separate myself from life.
