[Callers] Confirming Bookings - Best Practices?

[Linda Leslie via Callers]

I check their dance web page to make sure that I am listed. Many dances have their schedules up several months at a time, so it is usually easy to check. It there is no web page or FB page for the dance, then I definitely email them a week or so before.

What's curious is that in both cases these dances approached me by email (I could understand it maybe if it were the other way around?), we had an exchange where we clarified the dates, etc. and confirmed we were all set. We agreed to connect again with any final questions on program, accommodation, etc. as we approached closer to the date. The first case turned out to be rather comical in their confusion - the second I can't figure out.
