Surprise guests
The past three Sundays we
had low attendance due to a combination of competing
celebrations and other dance events. In addition, 5 of
our regulars had good excuses, including helping parents,
moving to Fairfield, attending professional workshops and
health issues. This just underscores the need to cast a
wider net to attract more people to our Sunday Night
Dance. I
advertised with posters on campus and in town that
September was FREE for students but not one student came.
I guess they were being one-pointed on their studies!
Except on weekends when they party at Depot House. I
know, because I'm one of them!
We did have several
surprise guests to brighten up our evenings. Marguerite
Gunn-Margi (hard 'g')-my significant other graduated with
flying colors from physical therapy on her ankle and
joined us September 17th and 24th. Ile joined us on
September 10th and 24th. Randy showed up for the lesson
and dance on the 24th. He made a last second decision to
come when he saw my
red TONIGHT sticker
on my poster at Everybody's. That's the second
testimonial on the effectiveness of this marketing
technique I learned from my very first social ballroom
class instructor, Michael Goodman in 1995. The first one
was from Jason from Kahoka, MO. Yes to Success! Thank
you, Michael.
Here's a lesson: We had 2 ladies and 5 guys on the 10th. I was happy that Simon decided to stay despite the odds. Many casual goers or newcomers take a peak and if they see what looks like a private event, turn tail. Do you think we just need more ladies? Well, the next week we had 2 guys and 5 ladies! Don't jump to conclusions.
Guess what we had last
Sunday? A perfect balance of 3 guys and 3 ladies.
We have some great music. And no matter what, we always have fun!
