pennsicdance: Elitism and the real Caroso Ball

>Yes, it is selective.  This is why there is only one "real CB" event at

Also, I'd like to add that this year's 'real Caroso' was the least elitist
of Caroso balls I've attended, real or not.
The ball mistress asked partway through the ball who hadn't gotten a chance
to pick, and efforts were made to give everyone a chance. A lady who was
picked for Gracca Amorosa (which was taught at the ball prep class btw),
didn't know any other dance in the list, and so did Gracca again. People
didn't seem to mind.
