The Rocky Mountain Rainbeaus remain Colorado's most popular club year after year. While another club has slightly more members, this club has the highest attendance because many non-members attend their monthly "party dances." The Rainbeaus are wildly fun, and the dancing is top-notch. CBS News declared them the largest club in Colorado due to attendance. They are an official LGBTQ club, but have membership and attendance from most of the "straight" clubs in Colorado. Why are they so successful? Mike Sattler reveals their creative, out-of-the-box new-member recruitment methods and the principles employed to retain those who take lessons. Every club can benefit from hearing from clubs that are growing in an era where square dance as a whole is shrinking. And, all these tips are fun to do! Loosen up your future and listen to how to grow!

Send your club's success story to leslie@squaredancerevival.org. Inspired by Mike's thoughts, Square Dance Revival wants to share the success stories of rebuilding club membership or starting new clubs around the country. Tell us about your club history, what you did to rebuild, what didn't work, and what the results were.
