The Crocs most regular gig is at a place called the Bacchus Bar. The crowd age is regularly 40-55. A lot of rock and roll dancers that (as you say) take it very seriously and must practice to be able to pull off some of the moves. Phil, the owner tells us that his philosophy is this: If the room is full and ppl dont drink as much for one band as they do with another  then as long as the room is full he makes a good profit regardless and it looks better to have a full room and not make quite as much than it does to have a half full room of heavy drinkers which is usually accompanied by fights and other dramas. People have a better experience overall and continue coming back which is important to him.

The only complains we've got from the club owners is that we drinks too much....

The American Legion Halls around here pay good money, and the dance crowd is older than the band.

Not always. A friend of mine in the Houston area plays a regular Legion gig, and he turned 80 last week. The guy who played steel guitar for him until moving out of the area recently is even older, there's a pic online of him playing in a band in 1947.

Square AND formation dancing?

Could be anything from country music to ethnic dancing.
