Not exactly the same as your question, but Country Dance New York did a survey last spring of a number of dances in the Northeast, about their use of gendered versus non-gendered role terms. You can see the results here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/166uOdgBIIIJuiMUmF6DyQENtsPrQrrav9eYwwc7eQtY/edit?usp=sharing There was quite a range of responses, from never even considering it to having switched to Larks and Ravens several years ago. No one correct answer, but interesting reading. A number of dances are not identified because the response was from an individual rather than the group per se. 

The result for Country Dance New York was to take another year to experiment with using Larks/Ravens and Gents/Ladies alternating weeks, with conscious attention to how dancers are responding, both in opinions and attendance. More data in a year!

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
