The GUU in Glasgow is a fine venue, with a rather good (if a little idiosyncratic
) DJ, and many fine dancers. But it's also not as busy as it could be and it's probably fair to say that the better dancers around Glasgow tend to go to JJ's rather than the GUU.
It's also a very flexible venue, have two or three rooms extra rooms that could be used for our purposes...
If there was a room with "challenging" music during the intermediate class I'd probably go to it more regularly. I imagine a lot of other people would feel the same. Perhaps the bunch of people who sit in the bar waiting for the intermediate class to finish would turn up earlier... Maybe even a few of the "advanced" dancers who rarely come out during the week would come along...
So you get more people through the door, more people paying the full price, and you'd have some advanced dancers around to inspire and maybe even dance with people still learning.
OK, so you may lose a few of the better dancers during the intermediate class to the other room, but with the GUU, many have already been lost to Tuesday night at JJ's, so maybe it'd be worth it...
