But, Ron, do you end up with more women in the higher level classes than men? That tends to be our problem. And, of course, the problem of women in higher level classes who should really be in beginning classes.
What seems to work for us is to keep our classes small (3-6 couples) and work toward a 100% participation in community events. And there's less of a problem in inviting gender-balancers. In larger classes (over 20 people), it's much more difficult for us to bond with the students, so . What have been others' experiences with big versus small class sizes and getting people to become active in their communities as opposed to just taking classes?
