You could try surveying the contra dancers to see if anyone tried English
and gave up for some reason. And then find out what those reasons are.

How do you survey people who have come only once, or
who used to dance
frequently and now do not? How do you identify them? How do you contact
them. And finally, if they don,t come to your dance, how do you motivate
them to respond to your survey?

This has been a difficult year for English dancing in NYC, with lots of
people not dancing because of disability, weather, etc. We are looking for
ways to get more dancers to come and join our community on a continuing
basis, and want to survey dancers (those who came only once, those who came
for a while and dropped out, and long-timers) about what might make dancing
more attractive. Rather than reinvent the wheel we wondered if any other
communities have done such surveys, and/or found good ways to expand their
English dancing community. Thanks for your help!
I'll post this separately on ECD.
