[Organizers] dance organizer conference

Dear dance organizers, Announcing!! A conference especially for dance organizers in the Northeast! Mark your calendars for November 11-13, 2011 --- in the Norwich VT/ Hanover NH area. We hope you share our excitement about this rare opportunity. Seldom is there such support for dance administrators, and yet, the people out there putting on the dances are sustaining our social dance traditions. (Thanks to organizers, the rest of us have a venue to call/play/dance!) That's why, with support from the Country Dance & Song Society (www.cdss.org), we are planning this weekend --- for organizers of contra/square, community/family and other traditional English and American dances to meet one another, share ideas and experiences, learn new skills and strategies for successful dances, and more. We’ll also dance, eat, and have fun with our organizer peers! In these early stages, YOUR input is essential. (We want to design a meaningful conference, with relevance & utility for as many dance groups as possible. Any feedback you have time to send will be appreciated!) Please click on the following link by January 15, 2011 to respond to a brief* survey. (It could take as few as 3 minutes to complete!) (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/52YKGFW) And... if you know other dance organizers who might be interested in this conference, please forward this message to them and/or provide us w their names and contact info. Thanks! Happy New Year to all, and we look forward to hearing from you!
