We are following the same pattern as David indicated, and trying to get
away from needing to mail anything by post. Hand delivering flyers, or
getting other groups to print a few is often what we do. We also have
flyers downloadable from the website (preliminary flyers are often 2 or 4
to a page to save paper), so group leaders can print from there as needed.

For a different dance style I used business
cards, but not to leave lying
around – too random and too likely to be thrown away.
We gave them to the existing dancers to give to friends or colleagues;
they allowed free entry on the first visit. It was very effective.
Happy dancing,

Since it's tailored to reach the right people, in this case by looking at
previous participants, it seems reasonable to me to try.
I love the ideas about a QR code and about making it a postcard.
To throw out another idea, have you looked into business card ads? I've
noticed that some bars I dance at will have a table with 2-3 little cards
tossed on there that advertise other dances. I like it, and I think others
do, too. If you like one kind of dance, there's a good chance you'll like
another, so it doesn't feel like litter or like attention grabbing. It
feels like dancers sharing clues with each other. -Lex
