These same recruiting techniques apply to square, round, contra, clogging, and other folk dance clubs. Recruiting new dancers is a never ending task within the square dance movement.
Square dancing is a great form of entertainment, therapy and exercise.
It is also a great equalizer, as there are no income, education or culture barriers. No one is too old or too young to join in for an evening of square dance fun and fellowship. To conduct a successful and prosperous recruiting program, a club must design and develop their recruiting plans and guidelines well in advance. Their plans should consider class dates and schedules, length of class sessions, class size, class fees, class facilities, caller, angels or club helpers, attire, training materials, handouts, literature, interaction and interface with the club members and the club activities, class publicity and promotion, and club member support and involvement with the class. These information sheets should include data about the club as well as the total square dance activity.
