Hi fellow organizers!
In Ottawa (mid-sized urban contra scene), we've just finished the
development of a code of conduct. Following up, we have been brainstorming
some ideas on how to convey etiquette norms in a fun and effective way.
We're thinking of modifying this poster and I'm wondering what you
think??? And,
if you like the idea - what would you change/add/remove?
POSTER HERE: http://www.holylindyland.com/lindy-hoppers-etiquette/
Initial thoughts I've had are:
- something about switching partners throughout the evening
- better never than late (not so much etiquette thought)
- not too serious/just a dance -- here to have fun... so share the joy!
I JUUUUST learned that the Friends of the Greenfield Grange have already
done this and are passing it along. Thought I would still send this to the
group though!

Thanks to both groups for doing this - I was hoping someone would as I
had seen the original and wanted to adapt it to contra but didn't know
how to go about it.

I like the poster, but it has a lot of words and it is likely that not many people will
read it.
The BIDA (Boston Intergenerational Dance Advocates) dance has a bunch of posters each with
a few words on them. And they are scattered around the hall.
http://www.jefftk.com/p/bida-signs
The JP Gender Free Contra Dancers has a similar set and we post them in the hall. I don’t
have a copy of them.

I think it would be worth it to print some copies of the poster in
full-color on 8.5x11 paper to put on the flyer table so people can
pick it up and read it over rather than standing in one spot to read
it hanging on the wall.
In my experience, words and pictures of any kind only make as much
impact as they can achieve buy-in. E.g., not too long ago, I saw an
organizer being pointed to a document published by his own group in
response to a question about how to address certain problems his
community was experiencing.
The visuals in the poster covering a number of situations might make
more an impact for some of the points. Also, it might be kind of
awkward to have a standalone BIDA-style sign on the wall that says
"Apologize if you unintentionally graze someone's private areas"

I agree with you. I found the full poster/flyer quite engaging.
You got me chuckling, Peter, with your critique of a standalone "private parts"
flyer. Imagine the fear factor of a newcomer seeing that sign for the first time. Oh,
dear; not good.
Also, that flyer adapted from Lindy Hoppers to Contra Dancers might have a red slash
through the airborne dancers, lest those who pay attention to images not text think that
image shows approval for that mode of swing.

Perhaps a poster should be put in a bathroom stall or above a urinal
where people might have a little more time to read it all! :-)
