Hi Penny

Can we help you reach a wider audience? Promote your dance events and classes free with www.AreYouDancing.com.

AreYouDancing is easy to update. Alternatively we can do this for you for a nominal charge.

Tony and I are keen Swing dancers. We also enjoy other dance styles, so we are keen to promote more Folk dance classes and events on our website.

Please reply to this email to register your interest, or follow this link to register your organisation.

Kind regards

Anna and Tony

Hi Penny

 

Thanks very much for your feedback. All very useful!

 

Yes please, we would be very grateful if you would pass information about AreYouDancing to other organisers and teachers, including World dance teachers. Folk and Country is a new area for us. We are keen Lindy Hop and Balboa dancers ourselves, and started listing just Swing and Jive events. We added Ballroom in response to demand. We have now been asked by members to include Folk and Country on our monthly dance listing emails, so we need organisers and teachers to add their classes and events.

 

Thanks for the offer of tickets to one of your Ceilidhs. We do live too far away unfortunately, living in Gloucestershire, otherwise we would have loved to have accepted. We experienced our first Ceilidh recently at a friend’s wedding celebration, and thoroughly enjoyed it.  



 

Please feel free to make any other comments. We are gradually trying to improve the website, to make it useful for all dancers, so I really appreciate your help.



-----------------

Wow, thanks very much for all your help. “Bridging the gaps” between the styles is precisely what we would like to do.

 

We are also happy to work with people running specialist dance event listing websites. We can offer them a calendar similar to ours that just listed events their visitors would be interested in. Obviously it will be a while before we could offer this to Folk dance websites, such as Webfeet, as they would not be interested unless we could offer them a calendar with a fairly comprehensive coverage. We already do this for Heidi Burnett who runs a website listing Swing dance events in the South of England (www.comeoutswingin.co.uk).

 

Thanks once again for all your help, advice and promotion,

 

Anna
