Rates/Requirements
Classes
Traveling for a weekend, Grace requires 8 hours of teaching at $180/hr USD. Any additional hours are billed at $180/hr. When the hours of instruction are met, promoters can request a performance, social dance duties, as well as judging or level testing services.
If the 8 hours cannot be met by the event — Grace is open to a renegotiated price based on modified hours, classes, and supplemental private lessons.
Minimum
$1,200 USD is the minimum requirement for services performed for multi-day events; this may be achieved with some combination of classes, judging, and performances. In the event the total of the above-mentioned is less than the minimum, the required minimum of $1,200 shall remain. In the event the amount exceeds the minimum, then the total sum of all services performed shall be due and payable. If this is prohibitive in any way, please do not hesitate to let me know as soon as possible so we can determine if there is another arrangement that will work for both of us.
Compensation
Payment must be made in USD via direct deposit, check, Venmo, Paypal, or transfer wires. Any SWIFT/Routing/SSI/Account numbers will be provided upon request. If the event requires an invoice then one will be provided. PayPal or Venmo is accepted via gdurant34@gmail.com (*dance partner shall be paid separately). All payments and reimbursements must be completed at the event.
Private Lessons
Grace charges $100/hr USD for private lessons. Lessons with another professional dance partner are subject to different rates, depending on the teaching partner.

Accommodations
Accommodations or housing will be provided by the event. If Grace is teaching with an instructor OTHER THAN Joshua McLean, these accommodations should allow each instructor to sleep in their own bed. Sharing a room with another female instructor or staffer is acceptable — not a male instructor or staffer. Sleeping accommodations must be in an enclosed setting (a room with a door). If Grace is staying in a shared room with another person, that room must be a comfortable size for two people, their beds, and their belongings.
Food
Breakfasts, lunches, and dinners shall be provided by the event, during the run of the event.
Special dietary needs are required: NO Tree nuts, Peanuts, Avocado, Bananas, Tomatoes, Sichuan pepper, or Pomegranate. Limited refined sugar is necessary, although coconut sugar and maple syrup are excluded from this limitation.
Miscellaneous
It is very important that I am in a condition to dance at my absolute best when performing for or socializing with students and attendees.
- Unless it is absolutely necessary, Grace (and her partner) require a minimum of 2 hours of downtime to recharge between classes and any event planned for the same night. Travel time from housing accommodations and the teaching or dance venue need to be factored into this downtime.
- There must be a minimum of 10 hours between the last required task (such as judging a late-night competition), and the next task (such as teaching or level testing).
- Accommodations must have access to wifi Internet since the majority of Grace’s work revolves around being connected to the Internet.
- Additionally, there must be access to a fridge for medication management.
Marketing
