One of the tools that I've used in the past is "Wordle".  What's cool about it is that it accentuates words used more frequently.  It would mean (for example) asking your dancers to respond to a prompt like, "Contra dancing is...".  Then put all the responses into a document and paste that into Wordle.  The result is usually quite striking.  Of course you could just generate the text yourself.  I suspect that you all know about this but I thought it was time to weigh in :-P  What else does a Jewish boy do on Christmas Day?

A joyous holiday of your choice to all of you!

Nice idea.

> Has anyone made a contra word cloud before????

No, simply used a few related words in event descriptions or on posters.

Keywords/tags used here:

Fun
Live music
All dances taught
or
All dances taught & prompted
or
Dances taught on the spot
Try it!
Intro session
Bring your friends

Sometimes:

Tea & goodies
Real Ale
50/50 Raffle

as appropriate, natch.

Some events here use All Ages as a tag, which in BC is also code for a
dry/no-bar event.
