Well I don't expect to make much money on this situation at $2.50      per person which is the arrangement with the venue, but the venue      is FREE.   The venue is a health club, who has a workout floor for      things like Jazersize (sp) / Zumba.  I will have room for 3      squares. The club's policy is to offer all activities "free" to      the membership.   So for any of the members wanting to participate      in square dancing, I can not charge for them.
    
Here is the good part.    I can let outsiders (non members) in to      the dancing and they pay $5.00 to the health club for each      visit.   The club and I will split the $5,  thus I get $2.50 per      "non member who comes".  The venue is free.
    
Now I don't expect the regular membership to want to take regular      MWSD lessons, so ABC seems to be the best choice.   This will      satisfy my use of the hall to the management and introduce non      dancers to square dancing.
    
Secondly, I will now use the same arrangement and venue at another        time for a MWSD series of classes. Not necessarily, beginner      classes, but for DBD Plus.   This will solve a need for the      existing MWSD population in the area.   The problem has always      been finding an affordable venue.  I will be flexible as the      situation changes,  where if enough interest generates, I will      offer Basic Square Dance Classes or Sustainable Square Dance.
    
The club has a membership of about 1000 and the city has a      population of about 10 or 12 thousand.
    
So if I get 2 squares of paying MWSD dancers and 1 or 2 squares      of non paying ABC at 1.5 hours per class/dance, I will make a      whopping $40 for 3 hours work.  Remember, no rent to pay.  Of      course there is the homework before the class/dance, so maybe I      will make $6 per hour to supplement my Social Security.
    
Maybe I should just go get one of those $15/hour fast food jobs.

Absolutely viable, Many callers have successfully          provided events.
          Those who try to make this a recruitment tool fail, that is          not what ABC is about- Yes many callers still are trying to          bail the titanic, using the same 1 class buckets

          I don't hear much about ABC any more. Have we moved on or are          callers 
          still using the concept?
          
          
          I think I have a venue/situation that is perfect for ABC.
