If you are a member, I imagine that you can find out how many bulletins they
print and/or how much membership revenue HQ gets, and do some simple math.

The RSCDS knows how many members it has (at least had last year)!

There are quite a few non-member dancers, I'm sure, but that number would be
the start of a reasonable estimate.

They have also been putting together a directory of active teachers (and
hopefully would know how many teaching certificates they've ever granted and
perhaps have granted in the last 5 or 10 years).

So I'd start with RSCDS HQ, and make educated guesses from there.
