May I ask, what role terms you use, and do you publicize that? Do you have any young organizers? Do you try to "make young people feel heard" or do you hear them? When young women come, are they descended upon by older established male presenting dancers who just want to welcome them but don't understand the negative effect that may have?

I am wondering how different factors influence that and what we can do. Does the night of the week matter? We dance on a Saturday night. Would Friday be better? Does frequency matter? We dance once a month? Does location matter? We have a college (University of Kansas KU) Would a dance location closer to or on campus matter? Are outreach strategies effective and what has your community found successful? Thanks, Sandy Seiler Lawrence, Kansas
