Roll  Eyes Paid Gigs

Hello All,

I am just begining to get into the business side of dancing and I was wondering about the nature of prices per performance. I usually use the belly dance code of ethics as a guide for what I charge, but it doesn't speak of corporate events and other gigs in that category. Can someone give me advice on this matter? I want to be prepared when the opportunity presents itself.


in need of guidance,
Alimah

Hi Alimah,

Here's some good info
Standard rates and professional links and guidelines
belly dance rates

of course you should talk to your local dancers and make sure you don't undercut.

Good luck!

Yes, good advice. The prices vary tremendously depending on where you are at. Corpororate work in Vegas is between $150-$250/hour for a meet & greet + performance.

I second the links from Mahira.

Samira is actually doing an update right now so the rates may go up in the next few weeks to meet the actual "today" rates.
