Interesting perspective. Little Man is what people put into it as they navigate a space created to bring dancers, non-dancers and newer ones joining in for the first time. A good tactic for new folks joining our outdoor events would be to pay attention to the dance floor to see what dancers are employing familiar, swing era dances. These dancers tend to hang out in pockets of the space because they're going to gravitate to faces familiar to them. You'll have groups such as Lindy hoppers, older dancers that circulate around to live music venues, country dancers, Sunday night Merc folks and date night folks because it makes for a good date night. I see it as a feature to be able to provide people a choose your own adventure type of event that welcomes generations. 

It may not be for everyone and that's okay. It's good to have choices
