Re: [Callers] other descriptive titles for ONS's

[John Sweeney via Callers]

I am in England. 90% of my bookings are for "Barn Dances" or "Ceilidhs".

The ones I run go under the name "Dancing for Fun" with a description of:
" Come and learn a wide range of wonderful dances, from 17th Century Jane
Austen style to 21st Century Ceilidh, including Square Dances, American
Contras, English Barn Dance, Contra Waltzing and the Polka!"

And yes, I really do call of those at ONSs ( not ONS's. :-)

Happy dancing,
John

Depends on what kind of thing it is, but:

Community Dance
Family Dance
No-experience-needed dance
Dance for Everybody
Community Dance Party

(And although I don't advocate it, a bunch of people in the world seem 
to think "Square Dance" means this.)

Greetings all,

I know this has been discussed before, but I am gathering a list of 
descriptive titles for
one-night-stand dances.  Especially looking titles that work in 
describing in a way that would be acceptable and understandable to the 
people organizing these events.  (i.e. Do they really want their event 
to be called a one night stand? )


Here's a start:
One-shot-deal
Barn Dances
Special Event dances
One-off.

Anyone have any more?
