[Organizers] Tapping into non-contra talent for new series

[Chrissy Fowler via Organizers]

Anyone have experience with tapping into non-contra talent?  (Especially with 
regard to a new series.)

For example, if there was plenty of Scottish/ECD/Old time music talent in an 
area, but no current tradition of contra dancing, how could one develop those 
musicians' interest and skills in playing for contra dances?
