Advertising or finding a dance. Useful links.

Are You Dancing and Webfeet are websites that list dance events, so are useful for advertising dances and for finding a dance in your area.
If you advertise your event through a public Facebook Event your friends (and your committee members) can share it and invite their Facebook friends - and so it spreads. Also Webfeet picks up events from Facebook.
There is a more general website Where can we go. which allows people to post or find local events of all sorts.
Your local area may have a folk website, near me are Mersey and Deeside, and Lancashire Folk. The Chester Folk webite lists events in Chester and Kelsall.
There are various discussion groups that exchange emails about all aspects of dance. Eceilidh is about ceilidh dance and nothing else. All ceilidh is less strict.

When organising a fundraising dance those few extra tickets can make all the difference between profit and loss after paying the band. At a recent dance a large group of young women celebrating a birthday travelled from Stoke-on-Trent to Kelsall because they had searched and found us online.
I can help you spread details of your dance about the internet. The band you book may also have a 'gigs' page, tell them where people can get tickets and ask them to publicise it for you.
Word of mouth is best though. Your committee members will belong to other local groups and could persuade them that they want to bring a party for a good night out. I go to several dance clubs, and if one is local to your dance I can spread information, hand out flyers, put up posters etc.
