Has anyone seen an increase in Youth attendance at local dances
since the NPR spots aired last week?
Here's the link to one of them. The other was with Bob Boilen, a closet contra-ist
We've had an increase in attendance by young dancers, college and
high school students, in the past couple of years, but I haven't noticed
anything due to the NPR spots. Perhaps they will still show up. Some
of our recent influx of younger dancers is due to the fact that the kids
of some of the dancers in our group are now reaching the age where they
want to come dancing and they bring their friends. We had a period
where members of the dance community didn't come as often because they
were having kids, now those kids are older so the parents can come back
again more regularly and the kids come as well. So it's a double bonus.
