I'm not sure how large it was, but it seemed about 18X24". The information is great, but it's difficult to read and a little too busy for dancers who are just entering the dance. Maybe they will read it a little at at time over time. I would have to be blown up about twice as large to be easily readable.

(This has been a problem from the original design of the poster some years ago). I would strongly suggest using left-justified text in most places for even spacing between words and rely on the backgrounds shading and graphics to define the shape of your columns. > On Aug 16, 2017, at 12:31 PM, Greg Allan via Organizers &lt;organizers(a)lists.sharedweight.net <mailto:organizers@lists.sharedweight.net>> wrote: > > Great Share! > > Thanks so much.

Though I realize some of these may have been on purpose, like the words "space" and apologize" in the next-to-rightmost column, third paragraph. > - Perhaps a few more images of contra-esque dancers, rather than singular individuals?
