Has anyone seen an increase in Youth attendance at local dances since the NPR spots aired last week? Here's the link to one of them. The other was with Bob Boilen, a closet contra-ist
We've had an increase in attendance by young dancers, college and high school students, in the past couple of years, but I haven't noticed anything due to the NPR spots. Perhaps they will still show up. Some of our recent influx of younger dancers is due to the fact that the kids of some of the dancers in our group are now reaching the age where they want to come dancing and they bring their friends. We had a period where members of the dance community didn't come as often because they were having kids, now those kids are older so the parents can come back again more regularly and the kids come as well. So it's a double bonus.
