All men are not created equal and it should be obvious to all that we are creatures of hierarchies. In the Western World, we usually assign everything a place, a pigeon hole, a niche. It makes us feel better, secure in our place. We may learn when growing up that we should be equal, but soon realize that in different skills, we do not stay that way for long. Some are born poor and move up. Some are born rich and may go down.
In some cultures this is all done and recognized but it is not mentioned publicly. In the US, you can read much of it in our dance Web and Blog sites. Social dancing may not be so different. Presumably we all start as beginners, but shortly thereafter we begin to differentiate. Dancing for the gifted few may becomes an art. And fortunately, social dancing is also a craft and a game. It is one that can be learned, sometimes by hard work and practice which depends largely on interest and commitment. Are we having any fun?
It should be fun along the way There several way to promote a dance organization's services and products. There has always been advertising, newspapers, magazines, radio and television. Then some groups had Newsletters which were good public relations and usually had the input of several people. Then about 30 years ago arrived the Web and Blog sites. The benefits are many. They keep the organization's Name out in front of potential and current members, the media and Ballroom Dance Professionals. It may be the least expensive and productive PR.
"It may be quite simple, for social dancers, hope is what keep them alive.”

if not undertaken to wound or offend”
