OCTOBER 2007 Editorial and Advertising Clare House 166 Lord Street Southport, PR9 0QA Tel: 01704 392300 Fax: 01704 501678 Dear Dancers Subscription Enquiries What’s happening to our Tel: 01704 392350 [email protected] beloved past time? Agent Enquiries From Linedancer Magazine’s vantage point we see more of the Tel: 01704 392350 scene than the individuals taking part in it and recently we’ve [email protected] seen signs that concern us greatly. For instance, one of our Publisher most talented and dedicated DJ’s has had to find additional Betty Drummond employment and a number of top choreographers are struggling [email protected] to meet living expenses. The Linedancer Team We also saw the utter financial failure of a fabulous Line dance Editor event, which left hundreds of people out of pocket and the Pamela Edelston organiser totally bankrupt. Also, another of our music retailers [email protected] has been forced to close his doors and many, many instructors report a reduction in class numbers. And those are just a few examples. Editorial Assistant Laurent Saletto So what is happening to our beloved past time? Has the bubble burst, are we in danger of falling [email protected] apart or, is this just the normal lifecycle of a hobby? Dance Editor From a publisher’s view it is quite clear that Line dance related businesses are no longer able Steve Healy to keep their heads above water (chances are Linedancer Magazine will be included in this too). [email protected] Sadly the loss of these good people and what they did for Line dancing will have a serious impact Assistant Dance Editor unless we can reverse the trend. Kath Butler [email protected] We cannot deny that dancers’ needs have changed. Many of you no longer purchase whole albums choosing instead to buy your music from the web and by the individual track. And, Advertising Sales Director who can blame you for that. The once compulsive desire to attend every event has waned and Chris Chew we now choose more carefully where we go and with whom. We’ve changed our dress style in [email protected] favour of high street fashions and, sadly for Linedancer we no longer need to wait a month for Creative Services Manager the latest dance information because most of it is available 24/7 on our web site. This may be Mike Rose progress but the impact is affecting the scene and the finances of lots of people. [email protected] I have never been a doom and gloom merchant but I am a realist and right now I think we need Creative Services Team to find ways of keeping our hobby alive and well and at all levels and for all ages and tastes. Ian McCabe, Dave Clement, Perhaps we’ve just hit a summer hiatus in UK and the growing interest we see from foreign Amy Houghton & Emma Wightman markets is an indication that we still have a long-term future – I certainly hope so. Web Support Tel: 01704 392313 But I sincerely recommend that we go on a recruitment campaign. Remember bringing beginners [email protected] into Line dance also bring the kiss of life. By all means look after the dancers we already have, keep them happy and keep them coming but let’s not forget to cater for the beginners. Be Circulation Manager patient with them, remember how difficult it was to dance a grapevine for the first time and Phil Drummond give encouragement and support whenever you can.
