Sorry to be a downer, but I think that'd be completely incoherent to anybody
who hadn't been to a contra, english, or square dance before.  I love the
four-hands image, but it doesn't suggest a "star" unless you know it's a star,
and historically it's been called things like "hands across", "wheel", and
"mill" or "moulinet" (because it's kind of like the four sails of a windmill,
I think).

Re: [Callers] (no subject)

Great idea Martha!  I like it.  I need to revisit the Ants/Pants thing.  I
find as a "non-traditional" student that most of the others in my classes,
while not all 18 but varying ages, greet the word dance with raised eyebrow
and glances askew.  That word alone seems to be a bit of a "turn off", that
and my age.  I think they think dancing with the stars and the like. So
while I am open to all suggestions, we all need to keep in mind, what works
for one community may not necessarily work for another.  I actually attend
classes with the sister of one of our premier college dancer promoters (she
attends another college) but the one at my school works nights that we have
dances and so cannot bring friends.  I will be checking out our "social
club" status, have not seen anything listed that suggests that we even HAVE
such a group.

Thanks guys, keep the ideas flowing and let's do as Martha suggests and come
up with a great tag line...one that might work for all dance forms, Irish,
Scottish, English AND of course our fav...Contra!

Re: [Callers] (no subject)

A tagline like, "Come dance with your friends" might work, especially if you 
can put it on a poster that you give to a few of those college students to post on 
college walls, and to act as contacts for spreading the word.


Martha Edwards remarked on 10/27/2011 10:49 AM:

How right you are, Mary!  Our "messaging" could use a lot of work. We have a

it's not a succinct marketing message.

Spider and others succeeded with her "Ants Pants Contradance - easy dancing

is great, but you need to have a person or group on campus that will

the dance etc, and that's almost  like starting a whole new dance series

excessible to almost all the campuses that have dorms, most of the colleges

routes and our dance is in the heart of the "cool" section of town.  Most
young adults know about our area and the shops restaurants and bars.

So, as you see, it's not so much getting individuals to view contra dancing

might try it and help spread the word.

And then, I need an artist to create the poster.

As you set out for Ithaka, pray that your journey be long, full of
adventure, full of discovery...
May there be many summer mornings when, with what pleasure, with what joy,
you enter harbors you're seeing for the first time.
~Constantine Cavafy, "Ithaka" 1911
