Participation in the DanceSport Gala program will involve the following costs:
Dance Lessons
Schools will participate in 15 lessons at $7per lesson per students. Total cost per student is $105
For Example: 30 students @ $105= $3150 – this is the amount the school will be invoiced by DanceSport Confidence.
Costuming
If your school has previously participated in the program, you may have costumes you can reuse. It is suggested that you hire these out to the children so that you collect money to purchase replacement costumes, cleaning etc. Lycra fabric for accessories needs to be purchased by new schools.
Ticketing
Each school will receive 2 complimentary tickets for the Principal to attend the Gala evening. Teachers working with the dance teams will receive a wrist-band on the day that gives access to the stands and dancefloor. A maximum of 4 staff members per school.
Students who are dancing do NOT pay for entry!
All other tickets are to be purchased through Sydney Olympic Park Quaycentre ticketing agent (Ticket Booth Australia) during Term 3 and are not the responsibility of the school. These can be printed off at home and will be scanned for entry by staff on the Gala night.
Additional
Schools need to be aware of the following additional costs: Bus costs - Some schools choose to travel to the venue on the Gala night by bus. This is a very good idea and you may be able to ‘buddy up’ with a nearby school to reduce costs. Some schools only have a ‘one-way’ ticket, with parents/caregivers taking students home at the end of the evening.
