When Mooneschadowe held KC we had one track of dance classes. As long as 
there's at least one track of dance at KC, that's good, imho. 

I suppose it comes down to the reason for having Kingdom Dance (& dance 
classes at other events) - is it mainly for never-danced before & 
beginning dancers or is it for the dance-geeks (intermediate/advanced 
dancers)? Because if it's for the latter, that's a much smaller target 
audience; the former, a (possibly) wider audience, but not much for the 
geeks to show up for. And we need *both* types of classes. KWDS is for the 
dance geeks; kingdom dance ?? I don't know. I could argue it both for and 
against dance geeks. Sooo maybe we need to either question non-geeks on 
how they view kingdom dance & what it would take for them to attend and 
also question ourselves as to what *we* expect from Kingdom dance.

So most of the dance community seems to like this idea; has anyone bounced 
it off of any other people (like musicians, bards, jugglers, etc) to gauge 
their reaction?
