Bookings

Performances can vary in length from 15 minutes to two hours; a two hour performance must contain an intermission.

Charges - Fees for performances of the Nazu Dance Company are used to cover costs of costumes, equipment, and arrangements. To give the best performance possible, we can not do a performance with less than 12 dancers and two directors. (14 people). However, we can accommodate up to a performance of 25 dancers. Funding requirements necessary are as follows:

Performances within the Baltimore Area.
- Fee = $500 to $1000 depending on whether a meal is provided and on whether sound equipment and a sound technician are provided
Performances within a 3-hour travel time from Baltimore, Maryland.
- Fee = $1,200 - $3,500 (based on length of performance, number of dancers, season and requirements)
- The performance fee can be reduced by $100 if either transportation to the site location or a meal for the dancers and directors (14 people) is provided by the organization requesting the performance. If both transportation and a meal are provided, reduce the fee by $200 to $1,000.
Performances beyond a 3-hour driving distance up to 5 ½ hour driving distance from Baltimore, Maryland
- Fee = $1,500 - $3,700 (based on length of performance, number of dancers, season and requirements)
- Hotel or lodging for 12-14 dancers and two directors (double occupancy = 7 to 9 rooms).
- Two additional meals (or $100 to cover those meals).
Performances over 5 hours driving distance from Baltimore, Maryland:
- Fee = $1,800 - $4,000 (based on length of performance, number of dancers, season and requirements)
- Airfare from BWI (Baltimore Washington International) to city of performance. (Coach fare for 12-14 dancers and two directors.)
- Hotel or lodging for 12-14 dancers and two directors which means seven or eight hotel rooms.

Specific details are negotiable. In the past, organizations sponsoring a performance of the dancers have been able to arrange discounted fares for travel and/or board and lodging. The company would be willing to work out exact prices with a travel agent. Our goal is simply to cover expenses. We require 50% deposit on all bookings. Please before requesting a performance, check and determine if you have the funding requirement for a performance. Thank you.
