Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
Same sex dance ban
plan sparks row
One thing needs to
be clarified above all. Dancing pairs, either the same or different gender, aren’t
necessarily “couples”. This proposed ban by the British Dance Council (BDC) is
to have separate competitions for the same sex pairs in order to keep the traditional
mixed couple dancing competed fairly. It sounds reasonable as most physical
competitions are competed by either or mixed-only pairs or teams like
mixed-doubles tennis matches.
You can hardly
imagine a same-sex couple competing in a figure skating competition. So why
some people feel excluded from dancing competitions?
Enjoy reading and
learning what same-sex dance couples think of competing with mixed couples.
