Hi fellow organizers!
Thanks for all the help brainstorming words.... wow... there were some grand ideas. 'Tis much appreciated. :)
I've started playing with word clouds in
wordle.net and wanted to share my progress as it's pretty darn cool.
I'll attach a few jpgs of the word clouds in a follow-up email as I think they may get removed from my message.
In case you want to try making dance clouds too, here's what I did:
- I couldn't run wordle in chrome so had to pull out explorer and update java
- I used one of the 'advanced' options where you could select size and hex coding. The list of words with coding is below. (I used the following website for the colour/greyscale choices http://htmlcolorcodes.com/)
The following text seemed to be best outside of the word cloud itself so that it was really clear.
- All dances taught
- No partner needed
- No experience needed
- All are welcome
- absolutely no lessons required! (there's a beginner lesson at 7:30 which helps but is not necessary)
The words and coding I used are below.
:) Emily
