Thread: Regular restaraunt gig - St. Pete area

Running a BD program - I often get requests for dancers for shows/parties and regular gigs. I always try and find the best fit for what is asked.

Well, I've got one that I just can't seem to fill...
Its a local restaraunt wanting dancers every Wed eve (I require 2 set min when booking for others). There are more than enough talented performers around - but since the client is requesting a Brazilian/Latin flavor to the BD, that narrows the list down significantly.
Of the few dancers that I KNOW would fit the bill, one says she just cannot accomodate an additional gig (due to current teaching/performance schedule) and the other two are farther away.

Anyone out there feel they are up for the job?
PM me w/ your info and we'll talk.

oooh, florida is on my list of places i want to be... and really hope to find a gig once i eventually find a job down there... however i doubt i would be there in time to do that. I hope you find someone soon? How far is st petersburgh from miami? I have a friend who is moving to miami in September to help out her family.. She is actually latina and everyone loves her dancing.

Ooooh just figured out that is pretty far from miami... i guess she won't be an option either.. I really want to move to Tampa. and that is close to Tampa... drools.w.:

i could do it but since i live in orlando, my fee reflects a higher price to compensate for the time and travel. I wouldnt be able to go there every week though but its a start. pm me if that helps.

Since is a weekly gig vs a one time show/event - want professional dancer actually IN THE AREA. Someone in Tampa or Pinellas county
Orlando just little too far.

Price paid reflects area rates - so would be sweet gig for someone.

ok good to know. I know some dancers in that area you should definitely contact. very professional and classy. pm me for info

i was going to suggest Omaris or Angela out in St.Pete but not sure if they do 'brazilian' influenced BD...

Omaris was my 1st choice - she was the dancer that could not accomodate another gig (being such a lovely dancer she is in demand and then there is here teaching schedule etc.)
DeVra and Mari were my next choices - but being over in Tampa, did not want the long trip to this side of the bridge...

I never thought of asking Angela (she is more trad cabaret and so did not think she could do Brazillian influenced).

Thanks for the recommendations - but I've let the owner know that I cannot find dancers to match his request, and inquired as to if he would settle for more trad or for fusion. Still waiting for his response. (I do not place less than professional dancers into profesional venues, and always try and match dancer w/ what requested)

I lived in scenic Pinellas Park for around 3 years a while ago and now you've got me wondering what venue this is! Maybe next time we're down visiting family and friends we could stop in...

Oh there are a few more spots than used to be offerring BD for entertainment - but this vueue is south of Pin Pk
