Ad Information

All WNYF-affiliated clubs may advertise their dance flyers for free. There is a $5 charge for listing a WNYF-affiliated club dance as a special dance.

Items sponsored by non-WNYF groups are $10 each, for each three-month posting period, regardless of size. Each paid ad includes a free listing in the Calendar of Special Events, where it will remain until the event occurs.

Multi-page ads will display only the first page but will display or download all pages when clicked. Dance flyers, notices and lists of special dances will stay posted until the dance or event occurs.

Items for this section can be submitted at any time and will be posted as they are received, without regard to quarterly submission deadlines.
