New subject: [Organizers] tips for beginners???

5 Sep 2014

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
