Hosting Springs Dance Company

General requirements

Please provide a good supply of water for the dancers throughout the day.
Please provide meals for SDC members for the duration of their stay. At least one hot meal is requested each day.
The dancers will need access to the venue approximately one and a half hours before an assembly and one hour before a workshop.
Depending on location, it may be necessary to provide accommodation for dancers/teachers both before and after an event. SDC members often stay with local hosts but the company will require B&B accommodation if staying in a home is not possible.

SDC require a well ventilated but warm hall or large room, in which there should be space for each participant to turn with arms outstretched. A maximum of 30 participants are allowed with an ideal number of 20.
The floor needs to be safe for dancing with bare feet.
We would prefer a loud sound system to be supplied for playing tapes and CD’s, although we can supply our own CD player and speakers if necessary.
Participants should wear clothing that does not restrict their movement (T-shirt, tracksuit, leggings etc.)

A large flat space is necessary for performance assemblies - at least 6m by 6m clear, flat space. The floor needs to be safe for dancing with bare feet.
SDC owns a simple sound system but if the venue has a good quality built-in system, this may provide a better sound quality. SDC sound tracks are generally on CD. You will need to provide an experienced person/student who can operate the sound system during the performance in either case. In large venues it may be necessary to provide a microphone for introductions.

Performance requirements vary according to the show. Please contact the SDC office.
All performances require a minimum of 6 meters by 6 meters clear, flat space.
