From: Bob Grundy
I like they way you think. Getting "press releases" and wanting the media to get involved with helping us get the message out about what we in line dance love to do. But I think there are a lot of complications we all face. Some important ones were brought out by Taylormaid in Fridays Newslwetter. One of my biggests problems is watching dance venues struggle because the "regulars" have a hard time sharing the floor with beginners. I know that each time a new dancer tries out a different venue it is so intimidating. At one time most dancers were so welcoming to everyone. We need to get back that attitude.
In the New England area I know this for sure. Round/Square dancing is all but gone. Ballroom is on the decline and places to dance are harder and harder to find. Rents for the use of halls is usually the biggest struggle for all the dancers, swing, line ballroom, etc:
One thing that I keep thinking about is how do we get our message out. Most businesses have budgets for advertising. The problem here was pointed out by Taylormaid. If you advertise on Country media, that audience is looking for "Country". Now to find another "media" for non Country that would reach the masses we are looking for to join us. I don't think there are many people who pick up their local newspapers to find a line dance class. We (local intructors) all rely strongly on one another to keep our event/venues going because we have no other way to get "our" message out to the public. The "pie" keeps getting smaller and smaller. We need to look at ways to help one another
My thoughts (including press releases) would be to get as many instructors/dj's to pool our resourses. I am sure not any one of us has the kind of money we all know it would take to keep what we love to do in the headlines. But if we could do a "regional or national" add campaign with all the instructors in the line dance area getting on board to share in this kind of venture there could be positive results. Get together and brainstorm ways to get new dancers on board and to keep from losing the ones we have. Sharing the cost as well as the rewards for everyone. Use every avenue to show the non-dancer what they are missing. Use this newsletter as a "point of light" on how to get it to work for everyone. We all share so much info because of Carol Craven, Bill Hollick and the many others working to keep us all up to date. But it takes time/money.
Looking for more info?...I am...

SUBJECT: RIGHT FOOT VERSUS LEFT FOOT
About the abovesubject / topic, in ballroom dancing the man
starts with his left
foot and his partner (the woman usually) starts with her right foot. True of
almost all partner dances. This is undoubtedly why many men choreographers
begin the dance with left foot. It is not a matter of "lefties" or "righties" it;'s
a matter of not wanting to step on your partner;s feet in ballroom dancing and
the men are just used to starting with leff foot.
Have done a lot of ballroom dancing. Beverly Johnson

SUBJECT: NOTE ABOUT WHAT GRAHAM AND KATHY ARE TEACHING
FROM: LAURA K.
I just wanted to thank Graham and Kathy for their nice comments on my
dance, and for teaching it. I know there were a few choices, but believe
it or not, there really weren't when I started choreographig it. I have
some other dances, but we mainly just do them locally as I haven't really really
been out promoting them at all. That's why I'm surprised that you've even
heard of my dance for Bad Romance. You can find some of my other dances on
youtube by searching kicksnstomps.
Who I am and where I'm from? Well, I've been kicking around the line dance scene for about 15 years, but I only started teaching and choreographing about a year and a half ago. I was also on a line dance team called QuickSilver a few years ago. I'm from Oshawa, which is just outside Toronto, in Ontario, Canada.
I read this newsletter faithfully every day, and I can't tell you how much I hope to someday make it to some of the different classes that I see posted on here. When I do make it, I'll be sure to look you up.
Thanks agian.
