How to help a community of beginning dancers advance to a higher level of dancing...

• Workshop - beginners and intermediate. Have caller focus on one aspect of dancing for the evening.
• Start dance 1/2 hour early and advertise specifically for new people.
• Have more dances
• Invite experienced friends to help out, even if they have to travel a bit.
• Develop core repertoire (=favorite dances)
• Invite them to special events (balls) in other communities
• During the break, play with people to show new moves and practice thins in a supportive environment
• Praise improvements in the dancing of an individual
• bring college dancers to festivals and dances other places
