Snail Mail: I am on the mailing list for RDT and receive their print ads that market concert and special events.

Drop down menu options include: about the organization; including history, dance classes for the community, outreach education, upcoming events, a for kids section, touring information, and of course, a support option.

They have a category on the website named, “Media Press Room” that contains upcoming performance photos and press releases posted as a link. There is also a place to input information for their newsletter subscription.

Also on the home page of the website, is an “Upcoming Events” announcement, with several clickable options detailing the events. This includes a special offers and discounts box next to the season information.

The major sponsors are also listed on the front page. Each icon is a link to the sponsor’s webpage. These icons are as large in size as the material directly related to the company, so it adds to the fact that there is a lot to process when on the home page of the site.
