Other Money Stuff, if no donations come in you do not have to pay anything, If you donate the class again you owe nothing. We do ask that the $100 in rent gets covered before you pay yourself.
If you ask Galen to come in early and setup before your class starts you do need to pay him $15 for the hour even if no one comes to the class. Please contact Robin Williams Info@dancefreedom.com if you are interested in creating a pre dance event.
Community Sharing 10pm
Community Performances
At the end of the evening community members are welcome to share a 20 minute performance. This is a time for community members to perform , teach a mini class, try out providing music or lead a community building activity.
Dancers tend be a creative bunch. There are many musicians, actors writers and artists of all sorts among them. So, the Middle tends be a time when there is a performance done by a community member.
These events are coordinated by Robin Williams. If you are interested in volunteering a performance at the end of the dance, you will need to speak to her at the dance or email her.
