In Hawaii, people show "aloha" and hug each other all the time.....at work, at events, professionals vs. professionals, etc.
To each its own I guess, cant please everyone.

Sorry for being ignorant on the topic, as I grew up on a tiny little island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
And if it was one of your kids that got called, they may well go for the hug first. And that's fine*! We all have blind spots, and sometimes it takes another's observation to do better by others.

*assuming the people on stage were huggers, which we are taking as a given since they totally were
