Many reknowned artists will charge upwards of $300 per teaching hour or $2,000+ for an all inclusive weekend. Sometimes you can arrange a split (generally 70/30 in the artists favor after expenses) and I highly recommend pushing for this as the organizer. If it makes the artist more comfortable, you can frame this as <minimum fee OR 70/30 split, whichever is higher> to ensure that you are both invested into making the event mutually beneficial. The artist fee is only one part of the cost. Here’s what else is almost always involved: Venue rental Even if you “know a studio,” it’s usually not free. And if it is free, you are still paying in favors, relationships, or future expectations. Travel International airfare is not cute right now. And domestic flights are not exactly cheap either. Lodging Sometimes artists are willing to stay with someone. But “stay with someone” still needs to be safe, clean, and reasonable. If you’re hosting someone in a chaotic home with no privacy and a cat that bites, you are not saving money. You are creating a future rumors and drama. Local transportation Airport pickup. Rides to the venue. Food. Possibly a rental car. Possibly Uber fees. Possibly gas reimbursement. Marketing and design Even if you do it yourself, you’re spending time. And time is a cost. Registration platform fees PayPal fees. Stripe fees. Website fees. Ticketing platform fees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68736963fe73293b6475049e/f5f37b6d-1f2b-457f-9e31-ecf17603b017/pricing+graphicnew.png Blog - Hosting an International Belly Dance Artist in the U.S.: Can You Actually Make Money? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68736963fe73293b6475049e/1d763e35-8e41-4332-8e1a-63d41b15f81b/bellydancers+in+business.png Blog - Hosting an International Belly Dance Artist in the U.S.: Can You Actually Make Money? - Make it stand out Ad break. Yes, this is about you. If this breakdown feels slightly exposing, that’s because I don’t sugarcoat business.
