What we have at the door: " $5: Low Income You are a valued member of our community, and we’re so happy you’re here!
$10: Dance Sustainer You make BIDA a sustainable dance by paying enough to help us break even! $15: Dance Supporter You help make it possible for others to come to our dance! Thank you! " -- https://blog.bidadance.org/2018/01/raising-our-prices.html Online we have "cost $5-$15 (sliding scale)" and then on our page with more details: "All our dances are sliding scale, on a pay what you can basis. If you can't afford to pay at least our minimum, let us know in advance and we're happy to have volunteers. You can join our volunteer mailing list to get notified when we're looking for people for upcoming dances. If you show up asking to volunteer without talking to us in advance we may be able to find a role for you, but we also may not. So please write to us ahead of time so we can coordinate!" -- https://www.bidadance.org/accessibility Jeff On Sun, Sep 25, 2022, 11:25 PM Don Veino via Organizers < [email protected]> wrote: > We have a slightly different take on "sliding" scale to make the process > easier: > http://mondaycontras.com/pages/you-pick-admission.php > > We average just over the midpoint of the choices. > > -Don > > On Sun, Sep 25, 2022 at 10:58 PM Tepfer, Seth via Organizers < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> In Atlanta for our contra dance, we are moving away from a set price to a >> donation / sliding scale / pay what you can afford model.
