[Organizers] contra word clouds - thanks and update!

[Emily Addison via Organizers]

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
