[Organizers] noting some dances in SE are doing well

Just want to flag that the following dances in GA, NC, SC are doing quite well:     Sautee (hour and a half above Atlanta, not quite middle of nowhere) https://snca.org/contra/home.php     seem to be averaging 130-140 dancers at their monthly dances     last dance I attended the beginners' class completely encircled the large gym     lots of family energy (very wide range of ages)     Old Farmers Ball, OFB, at Warren Wilson outside of Asheville https://oldfarmersball.com/     at their peak they had over 200 dancers every Thursday evening     I don't know if they've gotten back up to that peak     but I've heard it's a strong, solid dance     River Falls Lodge, SC https://www.facebook.com/groups/harvestmoonfolk/     this really is in the middle of nowhere     I'm _guessing _150 dancers would be packed.     I'm hearing that it's often packed now.     Charlotte, NC https://www.charlottecontradance.org/     I first encountered this dance several years ago and loved that their     peak demographic was the 30-40 year old crowd that often     disappears to raise a family. They've had to move a couple of     times over the past few years and their numbers had dipped (down to 80??).     I was around for a few of their early post-covid dances with ok numbers (70??).     I gather the dance has gathered steam and is now quite solid,     though I don't know demographics/numbers ... just that it's doing great. A lot of the above is hear say and may have changed since the last hearsay! I apologize if I'm speaking out of turn. Organizers are welcome to correct me. Thought some positive numbers would be a nice thing ... Heitzso
