In response to many calls to PSDS for info, here are answers to some . . The attendance, depending on the time of year, is in the area of 225 to 350, which is more than it had been and is attributable to the surge of interest with the college and even high school aged dancers. There are even some persons under 20, quite a few in their 30s and 40s and a dozen or two in their 50s and 60s. On certain nights the crowd seems older than average and on others younger.
Every dance has new dancers who are winging it.
Another, lindy is more difficult. PSDS is geared to accomodate new dancers in its ranks with pre-dance beginners lessons and special workshops. No, smoking is prohibited inside all PSDS functions. Very few people are coupled at PSDS events. If PSDS is an indication, people do not prefer to dance with the same partner all night.
