Yeah, ditto.  We've more often had to take the weird position where an
autocrat has put dance onto the schedule, and I've had to say, "Seriously
-- I've looked at your schedule, and I think dance is going to suck.  Can
we take it off?"  That's hard, but I think that being picky about it, and
only running dance at the events where it seems realistic, has generally
helped things a bit.

(This may be a regional thing.  I suspect that northern/indoor Kingdoms
have more of a tradition of dance as an assumption than southern/outdoor
ones...)
