BACKGROUND It was stated that the Intersection did not start out as a business, but as a club. It has developed into a place where people can learn, but still dance spontaneously after classes. R/A are interested in ideas which make folk dancing exciting to other people. The spirit of the Intersection is such that there is a feeling of participation rather than that of a spectator. People should be encouraged to join in the dances even though they learn as they go. Such participation will encourage them to join classes. Many ideas are developed by the Intersection to promote an interest in folk dancing. The program for Greek Independence is an example, and the Greek Easter celebration is another. People will come to these special events and perhaps be moved to join a class, learn to play an instrument, buy gifts, or have a meal. Everything is geared to carry out the international theme, which is very important to the image of a living cultural center. Another activity -- interviews on the Anne Baxter and Art Linkletter shows -- should stimulate interest in folk dancing and make people aware of what is going on.
