We're curious about how other dance organizers handle the task of sitting
at the door and taking money.
Who does it?
- organizers?
- volunteers?
- a mix?
At Peterborough NH, it's mostly volunteers, occasionally an organizer
fills in. We're lucky that these days typically 2 out of our 3 45-minute
slots are filled by the same people every time.
- nobody?
At the Nelson NH dance, it's honor system with a fiddle case at the door.
> - how many people at a time?
> How is it done?
> - scheduling people to do the task (how?)
One of the organizers confirms that we have doorsitters for the upcoming
dance
, usually by email or Facebook Messenger.
> - vetting/soliciting the vols (any parameters?)
> - how long does each person sit at door on
a given dance eve?
45-60 minutes
> - any compensation/barter?
Free admission to the Peterborough dance
> Other relevant info?
We're trying to keep a tally using an iPad app.
We give out "second dance free" tickets to anyone who has never contra
danced before, so that when they come back, their next time is free.
