Dancers are mesmerizing, but their services come at a price. It is very easy to be tempted to overspend on booking promising dancers to perform at your event, but cheaper alternatives may be available and should always be considered in order to stay within your overall event budget.
In preparing to host an event of any scale, much of the planning stage should be dedicated to developing a well thought out and realistic budget. Your commitment to stick to this spending limit will help you host an effective, exciting event without breaking the bank—a goal all event planners aspire to achieve!
Entertainment is one area of the budget where it can be very easy to overspend. This is in part because many people have absolutely no idea how much money quality entertainers cost, especially if they have never planned an event before. If this is true for you, you should dedicate a good chunk of time to figuring out what level of entertainment you can afford and adjust your expectations accordingly before beginning your search for entertainers.
If you have decided that dancers will be the perfect entertainment component for your event, the easiest way to seek out qualified, professional dancers is to work with a talent agency. In this case, you can be very clear about both your expectations for performance and price. Communicate to the agent you are working with that budget is very important, and while you want to book quality dancers, you are only interested in those within your price range.
By being upfront about your budget and intentions to stick to it, you should be less tempted to stray towards higher level dancers that cost more than you can afford to spend. These dancers may have more training, be well known from their performances in television shows or movies, or simply have the reputation for putting on an amazing show. No matter what drives their booking price up, consider what is most important to you and your event.
If dancing is not the central theme or purpose of your event, it will not ruin your event to make some concessions when it comes to which dance group, dance style, or performance length you settle on. A smaller group, shorter performance length, or less unique style will likely cost you less money than more grandiose options and will keep event costs within your set limits.
Keep in mind that the booking cost is likely not the only money you will shell out on performers, though. You should at the very least provide them with drinks and maybe light snacks or meals, which will cost you money. The dancers will also need a spare room to change and prepare for the act, which could be an extra cost from your venue. Finally, any special needs or additional equipment the performers require will add to their booking price. These costs can add up, but as long as you are mindful of both your budget and spending, you can stick to the plan and present your guests with a special performance.
