Many dance communities have dropped gendered roles and it's fun to learn and dance both. The folk dances seemed to migrate first and it's pretty common in most dances I've been to (contra, ceili, square, lindy, blues/fusion, waltz, salsa rueda). Other styles and locales have been a bit slower, mostly on the locale side. In gender-free dances there's now a quick negotiation around lead/follow preferences when first asking someone to dance.
