Re: [Organizers] tips for beginners??? - Musicians

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
