Just curious. We had a dozen local community college students come this
past week...
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

Thank you for posting this. I had not heard the NPR segment. It is a good
one. It is great to see a media piece about contra dance that gets it
right. It's about the people, and the music. A caller is, however,
necessary.
We have a strong presence of university students and young people who
frequent our dances. We have some of them on our Board of Directors. I
have not seen any significant change in this mix over the summer.
Thanks,
Greg McKenzie
