[Organizers] Re: Attracting young dancers

Just finished Atlanta Dance Weekend. As an old fart I didn't dance much, but enjoyed the dances I did dance. A couple of them I swapped roles every swing. I've also done that at RFL, SNCA, and OFB. 15 years ago I'd get the hairy eyeball from time to time when approaching a man to swing (I'm male). That doesn't happen any more. That's nice. While RFL videos show trad gender role dancing, they'd be comfortable being approached male-male to swing. I ack that's not a full gender fluid dance space, but it is a big improvement. From a quick, non-systematic look, I'd say River Falls tends to follow the traditional gender roles: * April 15, 2023 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLVvH-yzBP8) * February 7, 2015 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC1THbxnGUQ) * August 2, 2014 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjEmrKoOTkk)
