This is the way events are going - and not before time too.
Gender-balanced events provide a better-quality dance experience for more attendees than non-balanced ones do. Therefore, they're more competitive than non-balanced events. Therefore, assuming it's not too much overhead, it makes sense to balance from a business point-of-view.
Of course, this doesn't mean that women will be happier overally - the flipside is that the competition amongst women is for places, rather than for the men once at an event.
But it means that it's more fun during the event. So balancing, to me, is a Good Thing. But then, I'm a man, so I can pretty much drive along to a weekender and pay on the door
