    dancer resources, rates list, performer professionalism pages

    Hi Bhuzzers!
    I just updated my dancer resources lists; added at least 20 new links to articles and more.
    New info can be found here:
    Dancer Resources:
    samirashuruk bellydance links

    Standard Rates and Professionalism:
    Standard rates and professional links and guidelines

    Local and regional rates list:
    belly dance rates

    TONS of articles on performing and professionalism:
    performing and professionalism

    Of Cultural Interest and Dance Travel:
    dancerresourcestravel

    After the new year I'll add a whole lot more and restructure it (some of the lists are getting too long for the pages!).

    Hope that helps!
    Happy Eid, Happy Belated Hanukkah, Happy Christmas, Happy Solstice, Belated Happy Diwali, Happy New Years, Happy Shopping on the Swap Pages!
    Samira

    Hi Samira:

    Great resource! When you get a chance to update, would you indicate that the rates you have listed for St. Louis are also applicable to southern Illinois.

    Thanks,

    Sedonia

    Hi Samira - I had sent you some updated rates for Philadelphia a while ago and I noticed that they are not listed (but of course I understand, spam mail, etc). Where can I email you or pm you with updated Philly rates?

    Re: dancer resources, rates list, performer professionalism pages

    Sedonia, I will happily do that and thank you for the info.
    Fatima, I did a search through my emails and I don't see it anywhere, so maybe it did go to spam somehow. Usually when someone sends me an email with rates info I put it right into a "site update" folder until i can get to it. I DID find some stuff from Maryland Pro dancer (a yahoo group) in which we talked about Philly rates and someone posted info that seemed to come from a guideline written by dancers.
    This is the main information from it:
    MINIMUM RATES AT RESTAURANTS OR CLUBS
    The current Philadelphia minimum rate for two to four sets at a
    restaurant or club gig is $60. The recommended asking price is $75 to
    $100. There is a strong effort to raise the minimum to $75,
    particularly at new restaurants. Many professional dancers do not
    accept below $75 and others do not accept below $100.
    MINIMUM RATES AT PRIVATE EVENTS
    The minimum rate for one 20-min. belly dance show at a private event is
    $125. Recommended asking price is $175-200. Many dancers ask for
    $250. There is an effort to raise the private show minimum to $150.

    There's more info- but is that current with those rates?
