Have a clear purpose: Stand out from the competition by defining the driving purpose of your event. What unique value does it offer? With intention and care, you'll create an event that leaves a lasting impact on your attendees.
Have a run-of-show: Avoid the pitfalls of disorganization and delays by meticulously planning a run-of-show. A well-structured timeline ensures everything happens seamlessly, keeping your attendees engaged and satisfied.
Consult with experienced individuals: When assembling your event team, consult with experts in the dance community. Trustworthy judges, DJs, and MCs are the backbone of any successful event. Make informed decisions that reflect positively on your event.
Have a budget: Show respect for your artists and community by setting a realistic budget. While street dance events often have limited funding, it's essential to compensate artists for their contributions.
Small details matter: Pay attention to the small details that can make or break your attendees' experience. From weather considerations to providing food and ensuring proper ventilation, these thoughtful touches will leave a lasting impression.
