And Frank should be commended for allowing the social events area of this site to advertise competing organisation events.

Some very good points well made. I think the key point is the wish for "harmony". It nice to see that over recent years the aggressive competition from some rival Jive organisation has settled down to just friendly competition or even co-operation. Of course, people being people, there are always a few exceptions as recent events in the North West and the Midlands have shown, but by and large Nirvana is here
.
With the Lindy vs Ceroc thing .... for the most part they are satisfying different markets. Lindy tends to atract dancers who either like more swing music and/or are looking for more technical complexity (IMHO). Experience has shown that the two can live in harmony and actualy support each other to thrive.
At the end of the day, the more choice for the punter tends to be a good thing.
