I'd be very surprised if it were as you suggest. We're all steeped in MJ - we know where to look for it, and it seems to be going on everywhere to us... but if I look for local dance resources, I can find ballroom schools everywhere, salsa everywhere, even linedance clubs everywhere - MJ is, comparatively speaking, in the minority - certainly in my neck of the woods - and I doubt that this is unusual.

I think some of the judges commends on SDF might give you at least part of the answer (they weren't fans)
