Re: Dance Cards and the floor

The same thing happens at contra dances.  It's called Center Set  Syndrome.  
Contra dance etiquette does not include clearing the floor  between dances.  
Avid dancers tend to congregate in the center of the hall,  rushing to the top 
of the floor as soon as the caller announces teh next  dance.  Organizers 
decry the habit but can't keep it from happening.
