Bookings

The Gallaudet Dance Company repertoire encompasses various dance forms, including jazz, tap, modern dance, and dance incorporating American Sign Language.

Performances can run from 15 minutes to two hours; a two-hour performance must contain an intermission.

Performance Fees

Fees for the Gallaudet Dance Company’s performances cover the cost of costumes, equipment, and arrangements. To give the best performance possible, we cannot perform with fewer than 12 dancers and two directors.

Before requesting a performance, please check and determine if you have the funding required. Funding requirements are as follows; specific details are negotiable. In the past, organizations sponsoring the dancers’ performances have been able to arrange discounted fares for travel and/or board and lodging. The company would be willing to work out exact prices with a travel agent. Our goal is to cover expenses.
