Then take the time to thank that person personally and maybe give the odd free pass out occasionally as a sign of appreciation?

I know lot's of people, who aren't taxi dancers and who wouldn't want to be but they still contribute greatly to making a good atmosphere! You know the ones I mean, the ones, when they walk through the door, at least 5 peoples faces light up!

I think Lory has hit the nail on the head. No discount is going to get people to come to a night that hasn't already got fun people at it. As an experienced dancer some venue owners even let me in for free. This is great when it happens but I've never come to expect it and never go anywhere just because it's a free night. There's got to be some other experienced dancers there too

It's the usual story of 'people go where people go'.

And, tonight I'm going to Dorking
