I got the message with Delia's document, which I really like. But whatever Mac and Larry sent did not appear in my inbox. Could you re-post, please?
Thanks, Liz Sturgen

Hi organizers,
Delia, Mac, and Larry --- thanks so much for sharing your resources! Delia - I especially loved the tone of the handout you sent... beautiful. :)
I had forgot but I had written something on this 5yrs ago for our website... http://www.ottawacontra.ca/view/?about However, it certainly wasn't meeting the need I was looking for as I wouldn't be trying to create something similar now. [Also wayyyy too long winded.] :) It does have some info that folks might find interesting though.
I'm planning on listening carefully to a workshop George Marshall's offering this month in Ottawa called "How to become everyone's favourite dance partner"... he should have many great ideas.
And then... I hope to learn lots at Puttin' On The Dance 2: Hands Across the Border too!!!! :)

Hi Emily!
Here's something from my files. I haven't used it, so can't speak to its effectiveness, but maybe you could adapt it. Attribution is at the bottom.

Hey Dance Organizers,
Hope things are going well in your dance communities with the start of
September!
Up here in Ottawa, we'd like to have some targeted information for brand
new dancers that (1) might encourage them to come back and (2) share some
fundamental tips for contra dancing. We're thinking a dedicated page on
our website as well as a handout.
Plus... ... I'm wondering about something similar for our general
community... along the lines of a workshop title that George Marshall is
going to offer up here this fall... "How to be everyone's favourite dance
partner". Tips for basic key etiquette etc.
Do you have a page, handout, or other resources that you direct dancers to,
or something specific for new folks???
With thanks!
Emily
