[Organizers] The benefits of increased attendance --- your ideas?

[Mac Mckeever]

 To expand on your first item:
Higher dancer density (up to a point) increases the excitement level.  You can take a really great event and double the size of the room and the energy level will decline.
Increasing attendance in the same hall will increase energy, excitement and enjoyment up to a point - then it starts getting crowded and everything does down hill from there (including dancer safety)
So increasing attendance isn't always a good thing - unless you have a bigger hall to move to.

 Hi All!
Can I pick your brain on a project that I'm working on for CDSS?  It relates to revenue sources for dances.
Probably the obvious way to increase revenue is by increasing attendance.... although I know this can be extremely hard. 
I'm wondering - other than revenue, what are other benefits to having more dancers at your event? Here's a list that I've started....


More dancers resultsin: 

-The dance feeling like a more exciting event  …. “the place to be”

-More people available to invite their friends next time. (Aswe know – the best way to get new dancers is through word-of-mouth)

More people to support your events moving forward (i.e., asvolunteers, donors, etc)

-More options for dance partners – which can be helpful forcertain dancers!

-Potential for a more diverse crowd in terms of age,experience, ethnicity, gender identity, etc. 




Any insight welcome!!!




With thanks :)
