It would be helpful if, when asking a question or giving an example, people on this list clarified whether they are talking specifically about contra or ECD or mix of those and/or other related forms. There may be nuanced responses based on that info.

You said that you have "few" young dancers, but you didn't say you have "no" young dancers. This can be simple as approaching them at the dance and asking them as a representative of the dance. I am certain they would be happy to tell you.

You should be pretty much engaging with your new dancers anyway.  It's part of making people feel welcome and included.

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,
