Re: [Organizers] Retention of Beginners

Many groups (at least here in the DC/Baltimore area) give 2nd dance free coupons to new dancers.  What we don't do is track how many of these we give out. We do keep track of how many come in though, so we can't say.  As a door person at the Glen Echo Friday Night Dance, I can say that on a given week we get roughly 5-10 2nd dance free coupons redeemed, but our new dancer workshops usually number between 50 to 100 (with maybe 10-15 of these being experienced dancer helpers).  Perry ________________________________ From: Lindsay Morris <lindsay(a)tsmworks.comTo: A list for dance organizers <organizers(a)sharedweight.net> Sent: Friday, May 2, 2014 9:19 AM Subject: Re: [Organizers] Retention of Beginners We discussed this in Asheville, but we don't have an easy way to measure it.
