Just a clarification -- the dance coordinator can't ban any dance from 
Pennsic. But they can request that some dances are not done "at official 
dance functions". And the dance coordinator can define (of dance time 
reserved in the barn and tent) what is an official function and not. People 
who run other dance functions are of course welcome to do what they want -- 
I know of at least one household that even builds its own dance floor each 
year!

I know this is what Gwommy means, but I want to make sure that absolutely 
no one reading this misunderstands it. That's how urban legends in the SCA 
get started, like cloved oranges, hand-stitched garb checks, and 
I-read-it-on-the-internet-therefore-it-must-be-true. ;-)
