A lot of work
Sep. 6th, 2007 11:02 pmSo, the first night of Mainstream lessons was tonight. Ron did a really nice job.
How many new dancers would you guess we had?
We were in two parades (one with a dancing boot) and the women's march and had booths at both festivals, one of which we did tastes and demos at. We gave out well over a thousand flyers. We used contemporary music (In-grid mostly) for all the events and wore matching t-shirts with the slogan "keep it square" on them. No hay-bales in site!
Now how many would you guess?
We had an event to register domestic partners which we sent out press releases for and got a lot of publicity for the club.
We had Four "Taste of Square Dancing" events, two at our usual location, one at the Cuff for the western dancers, and one for the over-forties women's club that we actually hired Anne to come down from Canada and call for us.
Now how many would you guess?
All the names we collected (which wasn't as many as we would have liked, but no one wants to give their contact information out...I can't blame them. Who wants to add to all the junk mail and spam they get?) were called not once, but twice, and we had new dancer newsletters for everyone who showed up.
The club did the best job recruiting and getting out in the community to get exposure that we have ever done. So how many new students do you think we had tonight?
