This contract represents the complete terms and conditions between _______________________________________________________________________ (client) and Masha Loukianenko.
1. Masha Loukianenko shall provide:
A.) _____ dancers for a performance on ______________________________________ at the below specified location:
Address: _____________________________________________________________________________________
Time: ______________________________
(Please include the name of the venue or other helpful information for locating the event):
B.) The total performance time shall be:
__ One set the duration of 15 min.
__ Two sets the duration of 15 min each (with a 15-30 min. intermission between first and second set.)
__ Other:___________________________________________________________________(this is less common)
C.) The performance shall include finger cymbals and props (such as veil, sword, or candles... etc.)
D.) If appropriate, the performers will encourage audience participation through dancing and tipping. Guests of honor may be invited onto the stage to dance, but the performers will not force those who are uninterested in participating.
E.) The performers shall provide music in the form of a CD.
2. The client shall provide:
A.) A non-refundable confirmation deposit (50% of the total hiring amount) is due to Masha 2 weeks before the scheduled performance date.
Amount of deposit: $___________
B.) Remaining payment in the amount of $__________ is due IMMEDIATELY following the performance. (Cash payment is preferred.)
• If the performance is canceled less than 7 days prior to the event, payment in full is still required. No fee will apply to venues that cancel more than 7 days prior.
C.) A safe and adequate space for the performer shall be provided. This includes a floor or stage space that is free of broken glass, spilled liquids, or other hazardous objects. This also includes an environment that is free of harassment of a sexual nature or otherwise. If the performers deem the environment unsafe for the above reasons, they may leave without rendering services. In that case, the client will still be responsible for paying the full amount.
D) A sound system with CD playing capabilities shall be provided, preferably in the same room in which the performance is to take place. The sound system is an important part of the show and should be tested prior to the arrival of the performers. Louder is better.
E.) The client shall communicate any special suggestions or requests prior to the beginning of the performance. The performance has been carefully choreographed and it is difficult to make changes once the performance has begun. Be assured that, if appropriate, audience participation song(s) will be included.
F.) Often the performers will have more than one engagement per night, so it is important that the show start at the agreed upon time. If the performers are required to start more than 15 minutes late, an extra charge of $50 will apply. In some cases, lateness may result in a shorter show or constitute a breach of contract on the part of the client.
G.) It is important to pay the performer(s) in a timely manner once services have been rendered. If the performers are required to wait more than 20 minutes after the show for payment, an extra charge of $100 will apply. Often for weddings, payment is left with either the wedding planner or the DJ so that the bride and groom will not be disturbed with this detail. Please help us to get out the door on time so that we can remain on schedule.
