And in fact, some folks dance *only* "the more obscure" dances, and we
don't want to exclude them.  At the ball, I'll often sit out much of the
English country, and dance only the Italian dances (well, and the
galliards, and the canary, and....).  So, if we did what you're implicitly
suggesting, Zhenya, you'd exclude me.
