Additional Booking Notes
Dancers/Performers will ALWAYS require a safe and private place to change and leave personal belongings. Having a basic idea of the performance space is necessary for the performers. Martial artists cannot preform with really low ceilings. Performance artists cannot perform well with floors that overly slippery from alcohol or other beverage spills. All parking and mileage over 30 miles is required for compensation.
