The rating definitely favours to host the future "Linedance Afternoon" at this new location - Shangri-la. I'll be making future arrangements at this location and announce the dates and details at my website.
Many of you told me that you like "Linedance Afternoon". Based on some initial feedback (and many thanks to those who talked to me at Shangri-la or phoned me afterwards - I take it as "you care about this event and care about me"), and in order to make the event more entertaining and enjoyable, I'll make the following improvements for the future events:
- White table cover sheet will be
placed on top of each table to make it more party-looking. Some even suggested
to put floral arrangment. I'll see if Alex (my wife) can help me out here.
- Room temperature will be improved.
A/C was not turned on because it was at the seasonal change. It will be
set to proper temperature in the future.
- The lighting will be set as per
later in the afternoon (after I found out some of the switches were behind
the stage), and the exit doors will be closed. It will then enhance the
lighting.
- I'll adjust the decibels of the
hi-fi/CD so the music will be louder, as per the level of the microphone.
The microphone is loud enough, so it's just a matter for me to turn up
the decibels of the CD. I'll also make arrangement to have louder speakers.
- I've to collect more data about
the female washroom facilities before I can formulate my action plan. The
male washroom was fine.
- 3 responses have indicated the
interests to have coffee and tea. Unfortunately, Shangri-la does not offer
this service. I can only suggest that you can bring your own and put it
in a thermal flask.
- Another suggestion was to alternate
the location every other month. I can see the benefit of a different venue
to generate the 'new' and 'change' look. However, the downside to
this is that we'll lose the bargaining advantage/edge of being a frequent
user/customer.
There's suggestion to reduce the dance review before music starts. The dancelist is organized to have 4 linedances per session and the general rule of thumb is to only review the 3rd and the 4th dances once. This is for the benefit to those who have learned the dance but may have forgotten couple of steps. The general feedback is that it's very beneficial to them and they would like it to be continued. For those who go linedancing 2-5 times weekly may find it a bit too redundant. For over 100+ guests, it is not possible to have a program that fits everyone's need. So, to this extent, I ask for your patience and understanding.
The above summarizes the feedback so far. I welcome your suggestions. Please call me or talk to me about this new location. I'm excited about the over-whelming attendance. It means there're many people who like the program, and I'm committed to continue to improve the program for your enjoyment in the future.
Thank you!
Nelson
