Where are the square dancers?

Tomorrow, at least 5073 dancers in 113 organizations representing 60 unique dance styles will dance down Broadway and through Manhattan in the 3rd annual New York Dance Parade. There’s samba

, ecstatic, ballroom, belly; even our contra dancing cousins are joining in. But no square dancers.

Dance Parade Inc is a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is:

to promote dance as an expressive and unifying art form by showcasing all forms of dance

, educating the general public about the opportunities to experience dance, and celebrating diversity of dance in New York City by sponsoring a yearly city-wide dance parade and dance festival.

, if paired with the contra dancers (dance styles are together, in roughly historical order), it could be an interesting juxtaposition to show you can do a traditional dance style to modern music.

Publicity Ideas

We need to look for publicity ideas, so I’m gleaning some here.

  • Tattoos (the temporary kind, of course). The Desert Valley Squares in Phoenix has used these quite successfully.
  • Promotional items like pens, pencils and such. Gerry Hardy has been using “Physical & Mental Exercise & Sociability. Try Square Dancing. It’s Friendship set to Music” on pens that she gives away and stickers on her mail.
  • List your event everywhere possible. There’s a site for festivals. Why not get square dance festivals listed…at least the biggies like the National.
