S05 Ep15 - Too many events! Not enough dancers!

'Balancing Community Growth and Event Frequency in Dance Communities' In this episode of ZoukNerds, Alisson Sandi and Gui Prada delve into the complex issue of the impact of frequent dance events on the growth and sustainability of a local dance community. They discuss how an overabundance of weekenders, festivals, and socials can draw attention and resources away from regular classes, which are crucial for building a strong foundational community. The conversation underscores the need for a balanced approach that includes nurturing local instructors, implementing beginner-friendly events, and fostering consistent weekly classes. The hosts emphasize that understanding the broader landscape and maintaining open communication among community members, organizers, and instructors are critical for sustainable growth. They also touch upon the different dynamics between established and newer dance communities and propose the idea of residencies to strengthen local scenes.
