What to expect
Background music and a dance-focused set require different planning.
A good place to start
Share the audience and timetable and ask for representative recordings or a set outline. Agree equipment, breaks, requests, setup and any overtime.
What to compare
- Musical style
- Performance schedule
- Technical and setup needs
Compare the whole trip
Use the same dates, group size and essential facilities when comparing options. Include travel, extras and cancellation terms in the decision. Confirm the actual room, itinerary or service before making other arrangements around it.
