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!!!
With thanks :)

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

You could add "happier callers" to that as well. Callers also feed
off the energy of the crowd. In general it is much more fun to call to
a large, enthusiastic crowd than to a small crowd.

Higher attendance equates to a larger larger participant base which is
less subject to random fluctuations.

To expand on your first item:
Higher dancer density (up to a point) increases the excitement level. You can take a
really great event and double the size of the room and the energy level will decline.
Increasing attendance in the same hall will increase energy, excitement and enjoyment up
to a point - then it starts getting crowded and everything does down hill from there
(including dancer safety)
So increasing attendance isn't always a good thing - unless you have a bigger hall to
move to.
