When men and women have stopped being men and women and became amoebas ready to
dance to anything in any role, why try to save anything? You can't play a game
where the players don't agree on the rules.
And now I will go and swallow some anti-sarcasm drugs.

While I appreciate Nina's sarcasm, I'll bite, since this is a bit in line with
the lead or follow?
of another thread.
"It is now true that traditional diifferentiation between male nd female roles
in society are
changing. Dance as a reflection of society, incorporates those changes...But
the average
anatomical differences between men and women remain....the man uses his
strength to
provide support and the woman uses her shape and flexibilty to show a graceful
line. When
partnered dance removes the constraints of that traditional style, the
movements are likely
to be quite different..."
Kenneth Laws in "Physics and the Art of Dance"
Also note that country western dance has been much more resistant to gender
role swapping.
In fact it is practically non existant.
Yee Haw, conservatives!
