MEDANZ Mini-Festivals
Get your community together with a MEDANZ Mini-Festival
Would your dance group like to host a teacher from out of town for weekend workshops and a Hafla? Let us help you organise a MEDANZ Mini-Festival in your home town.
- Tell us who would you like to invite? If you are not sure who is available - check out our Teachers' Network List or ask your MEDANZ committee for advice.
- Decide on how many workshops your local group of dancers would like to participate in, and what they would like to learn 
(we recommend at least 2 workshops + Hafla)
- Then decide when your community would like to get together to host this event?
​
Next, complete the form at the bottom of this page, and let's make plans to create your dream weekend!
MEDANZ will provide funding for up to $1000 in advance to cover airline travel, room hire/deposits, advertising posters and flyers etc.
​
All bookings and prepayments to be handled by MEDANZ. 
Any profit will be shared between the teacher/s, MEDANZ and your community group following the event.
To be eligible to apply for this subsidy and grant you must be a current financial member of MEDANZ.
Small Mini-Festival Example:
​
2 workshops (Saturday morning and afternoon) plus Hafla on Saturday night
​
2 hours per workshop = 4 hours teaching time + performance by teacher
​
Approximately 10 students to attend each workshop, 20 people at Hafla
​
Income:
Workshops 2x10 = 20 x $25 each = $500 plus
Hafla - 20 people x $5 per ticket = $100
2 x vendor tables @ $10 per table = $20 = total of $620 income
​
Expenses:
Travel for Teacher: $100
Accommodation: host with someone from your dance community.
Tutor Fees: $100 per hour x4 = $400
Workshop & Hafla Room Hire $150, posters & flyers $20,
Total Expenses:$670
​
MEDANZ receives $620, Teacher receives $500 (travel and time), Hall hire paid $150, and printers paid $20,
NB: MEDANZ makes a $50 loss in this example.
Large Mini-Festival Example:
​
4 workshops/2 teachers (Sat & Sun morning & afternoon) plus Hafla on Saturday night
​
2 hours per workshop = 8 hours teaching time + performance by teacher/s
​
Approximately 15 students to attend each workshop, 50 people at Hafla
​
Income:
Workshops 4x15 = 60 x $35 each = $2,100 plus
Hafla - 50 people x $10 per ticket = $500
4 x vendor tables @ $10 per table = $40 = Total of $2,640 income
​
Expenses:
Travel for Teachers: $200 x 2 = $400,
Accommodation: host with someone from your dance community.
Tutor Fees: $100 per hour x8 = $800
