Salutations dahlin's

I want to get a feel for the communities interest in this topic. I've been asked to consider writting an article about what I am referring to as "the ATS Wars"... or to be more technical, who is ATS and who isn't... or to get right to the point... are tribal dancers outside the FCBD-ATS box ATS?, or a rose by another name?

First and foremost I want to know... Is this important to you?
If not, I ask that you respond with "this means nothing to me" or something along those lines. I want to see how realivant the topic is to the community as a whole, as well as to the individual.

Who out there uses the term ATS to describe their troupe, but does not stick strictly to the FCBD-ATS formate?

Have you experienced anyone being judgemental to you using the term ATS? Would you share your story?

...and if this topic matters to you, I would like to invite you to share your defences/arguement/references for ATS being either an umbrella term, or a clearly definded and limited set of moves & rules.

I have posted this here as well, cause I want to know what Kate & Shannon think =)
