Money
Featured performers equally split 70% of the money that comes in the door. The door assistant will make 5% and I'll make 25%. The more people we all invite, the more money we all make!
There's a $10 entry fee at the door and a $5 minimum for food and drinks.
Ideally every performer can bring at least 3 paying attendees. We do our best to market the event but much of its success depends on our performers spreading the word. We're counting on you!
Promotion
There's a Facebook page for the Shuffle Dance Challenge and an event page that you can share around.
