Happier musicians*.  We dancers don’t just feed off their energy; they feed off ours too. *Which has the potential for growing the local music scene From: Organizers <organizers-bounces+jethi=icloud.com(a)lists.sharedweight.net> on behalf of Emily Addison via Organizers <organizers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> Reply-To: Emily Addison <emilyladdison(a)gmail.com> Date: Monday, February 25, 2019 at 1:45 PM To: organizers shared weight <organizers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> Subject: [Organizers] The benefits of increased attendance --- your ideas? 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!!!
