Our community, like many others, has fewer young dancers than we would
like. I am wondering how different factors influence that and what we can
do.
Does the night of the week matter? We dance on a Saturday night. Would
Friday be better?
Does frequency matter? We dance once a month?
Does location matter? We have a college (University of Kansas KU) Would a
dance location closer to or on campus matter?
Are outreach strategies effective and what has your community found
successful?
Thanks,

I'm running a survey to understand how people dance in different areas --
things like what hand position people tend to use on promenades. If anyone
wanted to fill it out I'd find it very helpful!

Hey all,
I have a bit of a quandary. I just found out two incredible contra
musicians will be in my area. They will be here the day after our local
dance. I have a small quasi local band booked already.
Here is the question - is it ethical to ask booked band to change their
date (they play a lot in our dance) IF visiting musicians are available &
willing?
Thanks in advance,
Mary (Buffalo)
