We're curious about how other dance organizers handle the task of sitting at the door and taking money.
Who does it?
- organizers?
For our contra dance in Jamaica Plain: organizers do set up including setup of sound, dance management, announcements, and cleanup at the dance
volunteers who are also dancers
For our English Country Dance in Jamaica Plain we have a donation bucket.
- how many people at a time?
one - we are a small dance
How is it done?
- scheduling people to do the task (how?)
email request to our mailing list and know volunteers for volunteers, organizer does assignment
- vetting/soliciting the vols (any parameters?)
- how long does each person sit at door on a given dance eve?
usually get two 45 minutes each - and after the break it payment s ad-hoc
- any compensation/barter?
free admission to the dance
