A couple weeks ago I announced on here that I decided to offer some online caller classes.  Then 29 people registered 54 times for 4 different classes scheduled 8 times over 9 days.  

I'm calling that a success!  So I developed two new classes ("Leading Great Community Dances" and "Programming and Reading Dancers") and scheduled them along with the classes I've already done.  

Each of the 6 classes is scheduled twice between April 8 and April 21.
