Booking info - CaluJules

Booking.

Because of our goal of making the arts accessible, we offer a discounted rate to certain types of organizations. If you are an organizer for a community festival, outreach project, or school and your goals align with ours, you may be eligible. Please contact us and state why you should receive the discount.

For private bookings (i.e. restaurant shows, banquet hall or corporate events, etc.), we can offer the following service (one, or both):

A flamenco show comprised of two 20-minute sets with a break in between, or one longer set. We perform as a duo and our performances include singing, dance, and guitar.
A 40-minute audience participation/lesson where the audience will learn some of flamenco’s rhythms via clapping (palmas), and basic dance steps (if desired), as well as receive a brief outline of the art form.

Note: Due to the dynamic nature of flamenco, our performances are best enjoyed by audiences who wish to take-in a live show, as opposed to those preferring background music.

If you are interested in booking us, please fill in this form as an initial mode of contact:

Booking form

Please read our rates and terms sections prior to requesting a booking. If you are a community-building / non-for-profit organization and are requesting a rate lower than that of private sector / corporate clients, please describe, or direct us to your company’s vision, mission, and contributions.

Terms

For bookings, we require that a contract be signed guaranteeing the following conditions:

Access to the venue within the 3 hours before start-time for the purposes of:
- Soundchecking the venue’s sound equipment, or
- Loading, unloading, and setting-up our own sound & floor*.

A clean, private, and spacious change room and warm-up space.
A non-refunable deposit.
A safe performance space (i.e., a dry and levelled dance floor). The performers reserve the right to withdraw their performance, on site, if they deem the locale unsafe due to physical, environmental, or even social hazards (i.e. disruptive persons).

*If the floor at your venue is not suitable for flamenco dancing, or if your venue does not have sound equipment of a technician, we could bring in our own at an additional cost.

Rates

Performance fee: $300.
Additional 40-minute lesson/audience participation: $150
Sound setup & check: $50 (Depends on your venue).
floor fee $50 (Depends on your venue).
Technician fee: $150 (only if we need to bring one in. Depends on your venue).
Additional performer’s fee: $200 (if extra performer is desired).

If your venue is set up for flamenco dance, it is possible the soundcheck and floor fee won’t be necessary.

Shorter performances:

We still charge $300 for shorter performances, as a lot of the effort on our part is in the preparation, set-up and tear-down, but we may waive sound and floor fees.

Travel fee:

Depending on the distance to your venue, we may require a travel fee. If so, it will be included in our quote. See the detailed breakdown below.

Travel fee

Our core locations are in Scarborough (near Warden Ave. & the 401) or Waterloo (near Weber Street North & Albert St.), depending on our class bookings. Our travel fee is priced according to where we are teaching on the day of your event.

Beyond the initial 30km radius from our core teaching locations, a travel fee will incur at $0.20/minute + $0.80/km per performer.

E.g. from Scarborough to Milton GO station is 58km, hence the fee would be:

		Rate
Distance in km	28	$0.80	$22.40
Estimated minutes	23	$0.20	$4.60
Total (per artist):			$27.00

There is no travel fee if the trip is less than a 50 km distance from our core location (or under 30 minutes in travel time). Our travel time is calculated using Google Maps to estimate the anticipated travel time and distance.

CaluJules will provide an estimate for the travel fee before confirming bookings.
