Hi All!

Can I pick your brain on a project that I'm working on for CDSS?  It relates to revenue sources for dances.

Probably the obvious way to increase revenue is by increasing attendance.... although I know this can be extremely hard. 

I'm wondering - other than revenue, what are other benefits to having more dancers at your event? Here's a list that I've started....

More dancers results in:

-The dance feeling like a more exciting event  …. “the place to be”

-More people available to invite their friends next time. (As we know – the best way to get new dancers is through word-of-mouth)

More people to support your events moving forward (i.e., as volunteers, donors, etc)

-More options for dance partners – which can be helpful for certain dancers!

-Potential for a more diverse crowd in terms of age, experience, ethnicity, gender identity, etc. 

Any insight welcome!!!

With thanks :)
