The grass-roots organisations are the Dance Clubs, which usually meet
once a week. Often they will encourage budding callers to call an
evening, or part of an evening. Once you get known you hope that
other clubs in your area will book you for their club nights. Then if
things go well you start getting booked for Saturday night dances with
a live band, which will spread your name further afield. The final
step is to be booked at festivals, usually a weekend or a whole week.

Groups in England book bands and callers much
further ahead. I
have 12 bookings for 2014 (it would often be more by this time
of the year) and 3 for 2015.
How do y'all bring in new talent?
