Seen this on a few ceroc websites , like their 'promoting it'
I do admire Utopia and the like who must lose business re gender balancing
I wonder when the Ceroc weekender market will give up on Gender balancing it must be a pain in the arse to administer.
I don’t think it would be good thing for the ladies
Who remembers Franco Cambers when the ladies followed you into the loo for a dance ?
On the contrary. I'm more likely to attend a gender balanced event. Also, gender balancing encourages ladies to bring a man along instead of turning up alone and then moaning they have to practically fight other ladies to get a dance.
I do and it was bloody awful. I went to Franco's weekender in Camber with my sister...had I known just how much of a nightmare it was going to be I wouldn't have bothered, or if I'd known what it was like I would have booked with a male friend. I think all weekenders and events should be gender balanced.
I think Stewart meant that we lose business because we stop ladies booking when we have reached a gender balance limit. And he's right - if LUX, Utopia and Twisted events were non gender balanced we would sell out every single event and make a lot more money - but then it would be 70% ladies.
Nobody would want that and yet I still don't undertstand why lady dancers continue to support events that are non-gender balanced and that have a history of being loads of ladies over?
Part of the problem is that there are simply more lady dancers. There is a fall out from gender balanced events. Those ladies have to go somewhere. So they attend that non-gender balanced event nearby. Which makes the gender balance even worse.
Answer? I've got no answers to this one. Just observations.
I don't know if they would go that far
I remember how Brean was last year. My first weekender and apparently Mike E got a load of flak for there being ladies over (but about 200 men didn't turn up, cough pay for the ticket and go, sod bringing a man, cough). I was so knackered it took me 90 minutes to get off the floor when I got on. I'd hate to think what it would be like if it was women unrestricted. Probably an extra 5-600?
It was literally as soon as a dance finished someone was tapping you on the shoulder and swinging themselves into position. Then if you finally managed to get to the edge of the floor it was a wall of ladies to get through.
Gender balanced events all the way for me.
