Topic:

Solo Dancers – Can They Save Square Dancing?

Program Description:

Almost from its inception, square dancing has been considered a “couples” activity. But times change and so do our dancers – from those entering the activity as youth or singles, to those who have lost their significant others, more and more single dancers are gracing the dance floor. But have we made them welcome to our activity? Are they the group who will save our activity with their growing numbers? Our presenter has some wonderful insight and ideas to share on how we can embrace this growing group of dancers.

Pamphlets and brochures, our monthly webinar series and so much more are available on our website, www.USDA.org. This webinar will give you a quick overview of all that USDA has to offer.

Faculty:

Ri-Shea Schlitter and her husband Christopher have been dancing and calling for a number of years, and Solo dance communities are a big part of their experience. She is the Vice-Chair of the CALLERLAB Partner Committee. She was instrumental in developing the CALLERLAB Handbook "Creating a Welcoming Dance Environment" and was a panelist for a Convention session of the same name. Last year, she led a Birds of a Feather session on Solo Dancers, and today’s talk is an offshoot of that session. She was the editor of the CALLERLAB Partner Resource document that was released last year. The Partner Resource document includes a section on Solo Dancing.
