Our Solution to Gender Imbalance and People Left Out of Dancing

In my tiny group (see http://gainesville.israelidance.info) we have addressed all the issues that we know of regarding Israeli Partner Dancing and solved them to our satisfaction.

The first issue is people being left out.

People are left out because they do not have a partner. We solved that problem in these ways.

1. We rotate partners so everyone gets to dance with everyone.

2. We do a dance more than once so everyone gets to do the dance.

3. We switch gender roles as needed. If there are more women, women that want can dance the man's role. If their are more men, men that want can dance the woman's role. Yes, this does mean that sometimes women dance with women and men dance with me.
