Make Sure the Floor Type/Stage is Right for Your Dancers


You can’t book dancers to perform as event entertainment without thoroughly preparing your venue for the performance. Even haphazard preparation could result in unhappy performers and guests, injuries, or a disastrous performance. While preparing the performance space in general is an important step in preparing for your dancers to perform, the material and thickness of the floor or platform where they will be performing is very crucial to the performance. Some dancers require a specific type of floor to perform their signature act. For the performers, this is not just a suggestion, but is also a vital component of their act; they cannot perform without the right flooring, so it is imperative that you book a performer who can dance at your venue. Why is the floor so important? Some surfaces may be too slippery and therefore dangerous for the dancers, while other surfaces, like carpet, aren’t conducive for successfully performing dances of any nearly any style. The dancers might also require a stage or raised platform for the routine they have prepared. This is one reason why close and clear communication with your dancers or their talent agency before you ever confirm your booking is extremely important to the success of your event. In the initial shopping process, you should be very detailed in explaining the venue and event performance space to the talent agency, so they do not set you up with a group of dancers or an act that will not be able to properly execute their performance in the space you have designated for them. If you aren’t sure how to best describe or communicate the style of flooring or stage setup that is in place at your venue, invite the dancers or agency representatives to take a tour of the space to ensure it is a good fit. If they decide the space will work if certain accommodations are made, communication remains a particularly important part of your working relationship with these individuals. In some cases dance groups or their representative agency may be able to provide their own flooring or stage accommodations, but if they cannot, making these changes on your own can get very costly. If you are unable to make the necessary changes to the space because of venue policies or budget restrictions, you can ask the agency what dance groups, if any, will be able to work with the space you have. If they cannot provide you with any alternative performers, continue you with your search. It may seem painstaking, but ensuring that your dancers and all the elements of your available performance space, especially the flooring, are compatible is paramount to securing a successful and entertaining performance at your event.
