Market flexibility is a factor here. When we went from $8 to sliding
scale (pay what you can, 5 to 10), our average per dancer went down,
but enough more attendance that the total gate went up and we were
able to raise the minimum for our bands.

Affordability of dances is another reason (as rents and costs of talent has
gone up), and perhaps saturation of dances in any one region.

Subject: [Organizers] Lower attendance this year?
Hi all,
Both Montreal and Ottawa have seen lower attendance this fall and we got
word that it's similar in Brooklyn. Are any other local dances seeing this
too? Any idea what might be causing this? Since it happens to both Canadian
and American cities I doubt it's the political climate.
Thanks,
Marie
