- A few more high priority items (yes, I am learning the hard way...)
-
- 1. Acoustics. If you can not be heard clearly when the band is playing
- and people are dancing, you are going to have a hard time calling or teaching.
-
- 2. Bathrooms. Take a look at them to make sure they are OK. Is there
- toilet paper? (This is even more important for women than for men...)
- I once held dances in a school that had no toilet paper in the bathrooms.
- The first night I was not prepared.
-
-
- Are there other things that go on the basic list?
