The price of gas has made traveling a lot less attractive, so we don't even go
to DC anymore just to dance socially, either. But if there's are workshops
with someone I like, then I feel that my gas money is doing double duty. And I
know that a festivals with workshops are more likely to attract the type of
dancers I prefer.

I find that people at festivals try first to dance with their friends,
partners, or anyone new they think could be interesting. By the end of the
festival, though, people are more relaxed and are often more willing to dance
with someone they haven't danced with yet.
Happy festival-going,
