The goal of the intro workshop is to give uncertain dancers the confidence to get up and try it, and to convey certain basic information like "Don't clamp down with your thumbs", "Drink lots of water." and "The restroom is down the hall on the left." It's not absolutely necessary, but it does help a lot.
I've had a group of non-english speaking, never-danced-before people (~20% of the crowd) come in five minutes after the beginning of the dance and join right in without significant problems. Of course I adjusted my program accordingly, but it's been a long time since I actually called an evening's program the way I had it planned when I showed up. There's always something.... (and aint it fun!)
