Mike Sattler - Rocky Mountain Rainbeaus: Colorado's Most Popular Club & Why, Think Outside the Box!

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.
