I reckon/agree much dancing of various persuasions (I do mummers plays) is mainly for the benefit of those who are doing it, dance teams performing in turn while the audience is those who are not dancing. I wouldn't expect much of an outside audience at a pub or indeed in many a town street or square unless people have deliberately gone there for some broader event. We Mummers long since gave up our annual stagger round town pubs and even round festival host towns. Pubs are traditionally the place of refreshment but I wouldn't expect an audience. PAs no thanks. If people don't want to know, shouting at them won't help.
