<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Secondly, I will now use the same arrangement and venue at <u>another
time</u> 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.</p>
<p>The club has a membership of about 1000 and the city has a
population of about 10 or 12 thousand.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Maybe I should just go get one of those $15/hour fast food jobs.<br>

Subject: [ABC] Is ABC still a viable alternative?<br>
<br>
I don't hear much about ABC any more. Have we moved on or are
callers <br>
still using the concept?<br>
<br>
<br>
I think I have a venue/situation that is perfect for ABC.<br>
