What Hosts Should Expect
Hosting a successful iCan Dance program involves a good deal of effort, however, the feedback and gratitude you will receive from dancers, families and volunteers will make it worth all your hard work. Being an iCan Dance host may be the toughest job you’ve ever loved!
iCan Dance Camp Hosts are responsible for:
-
- Securing a local suitable climate-controlled facility (accessible for wheelchairs) such as a gymnasium, dance room, fitness room, yoga room, to conduct our dance program Monday through Friday during normal business hours
- Allowing access to the facility for two hours on the Sunday afternoon/evening before camp (parent and volunteer orientation)
- Paying a fixed program fee of $6,250 to iCan Shine for between 4 and 8 dancers during each of the five daily 60-minute sessions totaling between 20 and 40 dancers
- Providing lodging for two iCan Dance staff for the week (2 hotel rooms for 7 nights)
- Establishing a dancer registration fee to charge and collect from families (used to fund the above mentioned program fee – dancer registration fees generally range from $75 to $125 per dancer)
- Recruiting and registering local dancers and volunteers (1 to 2 volunteers per dancer)
- Planning and administering the daily check-in process, providing name-tags, t-shirts and recognition awards to dancers and volunteers
