Social-recreational dance has awesome potential for the future

What is the future of social-recreational dance? 

In considering the history of social-recreational dance over the past many years, it is easy to be concerned for that future.

But, in considering the history of performance-dance, and other dance-oriented activities, over that same time, it is instantly obvious that dance has not declined.  Dance has thrived and dynamically grown . 

And, for that reason alone, and for other reasons, it is clear that the world of social-recreational dance has awesome potential for the future. 

But it isn't going to happen by itself. We must choose to do what is needed to realize that great potential.
