I'm with Andrei and Greg.  I think that at this point it is more
important to discuss what we want to do with dance than to simply have
elections.  There are a whole lot of big issues that need to be
addressed, and many people obviously feel strongly about them (given the
amount of mail that's already been generated).

We've got plenty of time to get around to deciding who is the best
person to coordinate dance.  I'm more interested in figuring out what we
as a group would like to do differently than we've done before,
especially given that the possiblity of the dance tent opens up new
opportunties both for classes and for other kinds of programming.
