I agree with Alan on this. It's not only arranging for someone the series
hasn't qualified - even if the replacement performer is a series regular,
there's the issue of balancing appearance frequency and creating harmonious
performer groupings. As much as we like to think of our community as all
happy together, there are some performers who have strong preferences re:
whom they work with.
Give the booking person an opportunity to manage the mix or accept your
help before contacting others.

The one thing that makes you less popular with a booker than canceling
at the last minute with no replacement is canceling at the last minute
and lining up a replacement that dance series would never want to hire,
so talk to your booker.
