I think the fraction of dances with a beginners
workshop is more like 30%.
(With the Free Raisins I notice when there are workshops because while
we're not generally asked to play for a workshop we do need to be
quiet and stop soundchecking. We've played dances at about 45
different dance series, and think about 15 had workshops.)
Keep in mind that some venues have the option of holding a newcomer's
orientation in a separate room. You may not have been aware of it.
Nevertheless this does sound encouraging. I would love to see some harder
numbers regarding dance series with no orientation session for newcomers.
That would be helpful.
In what geographical area do the "Free Raisins" play?
