**Support establishments that pay fairly and treat dancers with respect. Bring your friends, go watch a show, etc.
**Help guide and support each other in typical rate practices. Remember that these rates are merely a guideline as a standard rate for new dancers – More experienced dancers generally start new gigs and do party gigs at higher than “standard,” and this creates a supportive and collaborative community that feels more welcoming to newer dancers and provides a variety of rates for clients. It’s a win-win.
** Rates sometimes also vary with time of show, with late night venues/after dinner shows or shisha club venues having higher rates. Dancers who are driving farther often add a travel fee to their rate.
**A few restaurant owners do not always tell the truth about what they are paying other dancers. They will often try to get the lowest price possible – as does any business, and know that not all negotiators use honest tactics. Be fair, but also do not undervalue yourself. Communicate with other dancers and support each other.
**If a venue doesn’t pay you, or gives you the run around- Remember you are a professional and deserve to be treated as such. Also let other dancers know this is happening. Communication with others is key in developing a support network.
**Clearly communicate and negotiate with a venue and/or band about both pay and tips. Is there costume tipping allowed? How are floor tips distributed? How are you paid if there are few clients in the establishment? Remember to do this BEFORE you work- so tip and pay methods are understood clearly by all parties. Take notes in your meeting with the owner. You’ll have it in writing! You may need it! Also let owners know that private parties pay different, including when they have a private party room in their establishment. Holiday rates are double in most areas.
**Know the other standards in your region. Most of the US has followed a 20-25 minute show standard for quite some time. The rate for any length show UP TO 25 minutes is generally the “minimum” rate, so any show UP TO 25 minutes receives fair compensation for all the dancer’s time. Some have 15 minute sets. If you don't know, ask your mentor or other respected pro in the area. Do not “split one show into two.” This would be two separate sets/shows with appropriate rates.

**If you are a teacher and want to create an opportunity for your students to perform, it’s unethical to take away a gig opportunity from another professional dancer. Create something OTHER than a “Student Night” at a restaurant or club on a busy night.
If you organize a student night at a restaurant or club on non-busy night or in the afternoon– you are allowing your students the excitement of performing at a real venue, insuring there is plenty of room for their friends, family and supporters AND supporting the restaurants that hire professional dancers for their busier nights. You are creating a win-win situation! Haflas/student performances can also be held at community centers, retirement homes, daytime/non-busy nights at shisha lounges, coffee houses, after workshops, in your studio etc. They can be fund raisers for a cause, or for scholarships for your school. There are SO many positive opportunities you can create for your students, that also demonstrate support of the professionals in the area.

If you or your students can’t get and/or keep a gig at or above the typical local rate, you are not yet ready to perform for the general public as a professional.

**Do yourself and the art form a favor and find a quality teacher or mentor to help guide you. There are lots of performing opportunities appropriate for a developing professional or hobbyist.
**Having students perform in environments where the general public may think they are professional is doing a disservice to the dance. Our art form will never be seen as professional if we do not uphold professional standards and high quality.
**Support other teachers and event promoters. Also do your best to not schedule your events over someone else’s.
**Remember the difference between a Diva and a Professional. Be a professional.
**Follow a strong Code of Conduct and support other dancers who do the same.
**Be ethical!
**Speak positively about other dancers, speak positively about the dance. Educate yourself to the best of your abilities, so you can present the dance and cultures of the dance in its best possible light and help to dispel myths.

Did you get through all that?
Having the above background information will help you understand how the standard rates list work.
Thanks for taking the time to read it and thanks for caring enough about the dance to support positive and ethical business practices.
