Thumbs up Beginners - How do we keep them ???

Ok, so as a teacher, one of the things we can do is make sure that we make people feel welcome, not out of place or even out of sorts by coming to learn to dance.

Taxi dancers do their bit and hopefully the regular dancers and intermediates grab a beginner and have a boogie with them.

Beyond all the basic stuff, financial incentives etc., what else can be done to keep those new vict...oops - members coming each week.

Practical advice would be useful and interesting as busking season is upon us and those bright faces coming through with their free membership flyer need to be retained...

No doubt lots of us will be out and about generating trade - keeping it after that first or second visit however......

What do you think???

If you are a new member / beginner, what kept you coming back for more..???
