A key to a successful fundraiser is knowing what you\u2019re fundraising for and sharing that list with your supporters. To help you get started, we\u2019ve compiled a list of 8 super important things for dance teams to consider when setting fundraising goals! <\/p>\n

High school dance team isn\u2019t all about grand jet\u00e9s and pirouettes. Unlike most sports, dance teams can keep kids involved all year long. The fall season brings football games and first-day assemblies. By winter you\u2019ll want to be competition ready and then consider performing at basketball games. Spring hits and it\u2019s finally time for districts and state, and most likely a farewell performance at the end of the school year. Summer comes along and you\u2019re training new dancers, sending the team to dance camp, and prepping for fall performances!
\nLike all sports, dance teams have very real costs to keep them running, but unlike a single-season sport these costs can build up throughout the year. All dance fundraising ideas are not equal<\/a>\u2014 your fundraiser better cover all the costs that may occur from this September to next August. <\/p>\n

1. Practice space <\/h2>\n

Sure, the gym is available for 20 minutes the day before the performance, but good luck getting in there three days a week for practice! Dance teams are often left scrambling for a good practice space since single-season teams can come along and claim your space right out from under you. Even if you have a good place to practice regularly, does it have mirrors anywhere? Don\u2019t be surprised if you end up booking an off\u2013campus location at least two or three times a year when you need a last\u2013minute run through or a place that\u2019s better suited for perfecting technique. <\/p>\n

2. Dance Camp <\/h2>\n

You held workshops, then tryouts. You have fresh talent on the team and new social dynamics to figure out. What better place to get the team in sync, scope out the competition, and learn some fresh choreography than at dance camp? Of course the camp itself will have fees, but don\u2019t forget about transportation, food, and lodging. <\/p>\n

3. Uniforms <\/h2>\n

Your team will need something flexible to perform in throughout the year. A basic t-shirt and black pants are a great choice that can be slightly modified for each performance. You\u2019ll probably want some sort of props like hats or suspenders and depending on the style of dance one or more pairs of shoes. If you have a strict dress code in practice you might want to consider practice uniforms as well which can require additional shirts, pants, or shorts. <\/p>\n

4. \u2026And football season uniforms <\/h2>\n

If your team performs at football games, you\u2019ll probably need to invest in something warm with sequins. If you don\u2019t normally perform with poms, now is the time to add those in as well to ensure your performance can be seen even from the nosebleeds. <\/p>\n

5. \u2026And competition season uniforms <\/h2>\n

Whether your team competes in dance, military, pom, kick, or hip hop, you\u2019re going to want to make an impression when you step out on the floor at state. This is the area where teams can really go above and beyond in their style choices so be sure to budget for this early on if you want to go all out. <\/p>\n

6. Choreography<\/h2>\n

If your dancers went to dance camp, you probably picked up a lot of great material to use for smaller performances throughout the year. Letting captains choreograph routines can be great practice as well, but when it comes to competition season, you\u2019re probably going to need to hire a great choreographer who knows the rules and scoring guidelines in and out. <\/p>\n

7. Hosting a competition or showcase <\/h2>\n

Driving out of town for competitions isn\u2019t always the bee\u2019s knees and you might be itching for more opportunities to show off your team at home. Whether you decide to host an official competition or just throw a local dance showcase, you\u2019re going to need to pay for various things like decorations and a guy to run the soundboard. <\/p>\n

8. Team bonding activities<\/h2>\n

Last but not least \u2013 team bonding activities! Dance team feels more like a family than any other sport. You grow together, win together, lose together, and put up with each other for a full twelve months a year. It doesn\u2019t have to break the bank, but giving your captain or spirit captain a small budget for fun items or activities to boost morale throughout the season can make a huge impact. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Snap!
