Hi all, Glad this forum has gotten a good little kickstart. I recently was at a Dance Leadership Conference in Virginia, and encouraged those organizers in attendance to jump on board this forum. I agree that it's too valuable a resource to just languish. ================ Seems like "problem dancer" issue is gathering a full head of steam. Great to read solutions and suggestions. Our issue: The Legion dance floor is appallingly dusty. How do others deal successfully w this unpleasantry? ================ And what about sharing success stories or similar anecdotes? What are you grateful for? Our Belfast, Maine committee just met for our annual "state of the series" review. We're pleased that we have happy dancers & performers, cash in our kitty, affordable insurance (thanks CDSS! www.cdss.org), and a committee that's not-yet burnt out. The thing for which we are most grateful has got to be that one of our dancers is alive and thriving after suffering a heart attack at our June 2009 dance (CPR by dancers and AED from police responders saved him.) Everyone at the dance was cooperative, supportive, and helpful - whether doing chest compressions, getting out of the way, comforting children, or holding him in their hearts. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
