Hi Folks,
I've attached the organizer discussion notes from this year's Dance Flurry.
Hopefully the attachment goes through!
There were over 35 attendees and the discussion was really inspiring!

Dear fellow dance organizers,
We’re very excited to be gathering with many of you this spring at Puttin’
On The Dance 3 - Dancing Forward Together!
We want your input to help develop the conference program.
Can you share your thoughts by completing this short survey by March 12th
<https://forms.gle/Zy7ce7Aij2dhBte38>?
Reminder that conference registration opens March 1st at
www.puttinonthedance.org!
We have some great news. We’ve heard from five organizations that have
pledged …
[View More]funds to support the conference and reduce the cost for
participants. We’re grateful to Country Dance & Song Society (CDSS), New
England Folk Festival Association (NEFFA), DownEast Friends of the Folk
Arts (DEFFA), Montpelier Contra Dance, and Belfast Flying Shoes for
stepping up early with sponsorship grants.
Plus, some organizations are offering partial scholarships. We will post
the details soon on the POTD website - how to fund your attendance page
<https://www.puttinonthedance.org/register/fund-your-attendance/>.
Thanks again for completing the survey <https://forms.gle/Zy7ce7Aij2dhBte38>
.
Dance organizers like you are so important in this world. You give people
an opportunity to connect in a positive and real way: face-to-face, hands
joined, Dancing Forward Together.
Thank you all!
POTD3 Planning team (Patty, Chrissy & Emily)

Hi Y'all,
We wanted to share with you all what we think is a fantastic new resource:
Contra Connections: A Free Intermediate Contra Dance Workshop Curriculum.
Our great friend and caller Alyssa Adkins wrote the curriculum for us last
year, and gave the workshop to great reviews.
We're really excited to make it available for free at www.view from the
balcony.org
<https://brooklyncontra.substack.com/p/announcing-contra-connections-an>.
We think its a great resource, and also has some …
[View More]interesting content in the
intro sections (and the section on culture shaping) that may make for some
good conversations here.
Hope folks enjoy, and feel free to reach out to us with any questions, and
to Alyssa to get her to come teach it (or teach it yourself of course, its
designed for local dances to be able to pick and choose pieces from it, and
teach themselves)!
Thanks,
Christin

Hi Y'all,
Just wanted to reach out and let folks know that Brooklyn Contra has
launched a brand new SubStack to post some of our thinking about dance
organizing and resources we're creating for ourselves and others! We'd love
for folks to subscribe if they want, but also, we're planning on posting
each individual post here for people to respond to, rather than have a big
comments section on the SubStack, and we'll be doing the same thing on the
Organizers of Contra Facebook Group.
You can …

See you soon!
Christin
