I know that "it varies" and probably quite widely, but I'm trying to
get an idea of what is typically charged for one-time or semi-regular
dance calling (not the high end festivals and balls and camps) or how
receipts are divided between caller, band, and house. My interest is as
caller, band, and dance organizer so all input would be appreciated.
At the BIDA dance in cambridge ma, our payment structure is:
Each band member and the caller is guaranteed $75 plus $25 if they
traveled a long way. After that we pay expenses (rent, insurance,
...) and the sound person ($75, which includes them brinign their
own equipment. Any remaining money is split up so each of the
performers and bida get equal shares.
