Pricing & Booking Policies

Pricing:

• Pricing is congruent with that of professional fees for Oriental Dance Artists in the Greater Toronto Area:

• Downtown Toronto: $200
• Outside Toronto: $250
• Weekly Nightclub or Restaurant: $125

• Events located within Mississauga, Scarborough, East York, North York, Thornhill, and Etobicoke are considered "Outside Toronto". Events located in Richmond Hill, Caledon, Halton, Ajax, Pickering, Vaughn, Woodbridge, Brampton, and Hamilton are subject to a charge of $50 per half hour travel time.

• Musicians are available upon request and will have their own separate fee.

• Contact Maha for details if more than one dancer is required.  Sorry, there is no discount when you hire more than one dancer (it's actually more work for us).

Booking:

• Booking Maha requires a 25% non-refundable deposit for all bookings.  A contract of service is created between Maha and the client.

Accomodation & Security:

• Maha requires a comfortable room that is lockable from the inside to change into her costume.  Bathroom stalls are not acceptable change rooms.

• Maha does not provide stereo equipment. A sound system that fills the room is ideal. Often a boom box is not enough.

• Maha requires a performance area that is swept free of debris that may cause her to slip, or damage her costume (ie. Confetti, flower petals, broken glass).

• It is best that the audience does not see Maha in costume until it is time for her entrance which is qued by her music.  Someone must escort Maha to her point of entrance and hold the door if she requests.

• Please ensure the change room is immediately available after the performance.  It is not appropriate to have a dancer hanging around in her costume.

• An escort may accompany Maha. A seat must be provided for the escort and the escort will not be demanded to pay any admission into the event.

• Any inappropriate behavior during the show will result in the immediate termination of the show and full payment will be demanded.

• Maha does not perform at bachelor parties, or all male parties.

During the Show:

• Guests are to remain seated during the show and may dance with Maha only when invited by her.

Tips for the DJ:

• Music must be played loud and fill the room.
• The CD must be played from beginning to end.
• The CD is never to be mixed in or out with other music.
• The CD music is never to be altered in any way while Maha is dancing. Special effects deemed interesting by the DJ will result in missed que's for the dancer.

Cancellation:

• Cancellations must be made one week in advance of the event; otherwise a 50% cancellation fee is demanded. Bookings made the week of the event require a 48 hr cancellation; otherwise a 50% cancellation fee is demanded.

• Maha understands that performance start times need some flexibility. If Maha has to wait, a $1 per min waiting fee will be demanded after 15mins. If the waiting time exceeds 30mins, depending on other bookings that night, the show may be cancelled and a 100% cancellation fee in addition to the waiting fee will be demanded.
