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.

For those of you who have transitioned to ungendered dances, was the transition slow or was it abrupt?  Was a vote held by the membership or by the dance committee.  Did you experience an increase in attendance or a decrease.  We’re the changes due to new dancers coming, members returning or leaving.  Any information on the transition would be appreciated.

Thank you
