Great ideas guys, I'll check out the CDSS information, most of this is stuff we've heard before and holding a dance on campus is a bit more than we can handle. the sites are great and so are the suggestions, but I really am looking for a "hook" on a poster...like Michale Ludgate's "Support Live Music, Go Contra Dancing"...but I'm not sure that will work either. I've seen "turn off the TV...dance!" A night of aerobics... and some other things, that's really what I'm looking for. Trying to hold dances on campus is great, but you need to have a person or group on campus that will sponsor the dance etc, and that's almost like starting a whole new dance series (dont' really have time or resources to do this), our dance is readily excessible to almost all the campuses that have dorms, most of the colleges are "comuter" colleges with day campuses and some of them (mostly in the city or what is considered the city) have campus housing. All are on bus routes and our dance is in the heart of the "cool" section of town. Most young adults know about our area and the shops restaurants and bars.
So, as you see, it's not so much getting individuals to view contra dancing or host a dance but just to get the option out there, visible, so that some might try it and help spread the word. And then, I need an artist to create the poster..... Thanks again guys! Mary Collins QCCD
