Include Non-Dancer Events At Festivals and Conventions

We used to go to an annual 1-day festival. In the evening they had a non-dancer hall. We could bring non-dancing friends and they would spend a couple of hours learning a few basics while we danced in the other halls. Then we could join them and dance a couple of tips together. It made for a great introduction to our activity.

Suppose some of our national or regional conventions started to incorporate an event such as that as part of their program. Locals would have a chance to introduce their friends to our great activity.
