"Your tickets sales are INSANE!!! You MUST be RICH!"...Rich Indeed!

People always ask if we get paid to do these shows and the answer is always the same:  “I’ll never tell…” (in a high-pitch voice).

The truth is, we get all types of work. Some is paid and some is not. The work that is NOT paid, we are very selective about. For example, last year we performed for “Dance Your Heart Out” at the MOA and that was not paid. However, we got so many benefits from that. We got to support the organizations cause, got mad exposure, earned a set of brand new “fans” and let’s not forget about the ample green room and the abundance of  pizza they provided the crew with. YUM!

We’ve also done shows for lavish, elegant galas at elegant hotels (The Graves, for example), fancy weddings and other private company events. Most of the money from these shows gets re-invested back into the benefit shows for new costuming, set and other basic expenses. Sometimes dancers themselves will refuse to get paid in order to donate it to the cause: Stepping Stone Theatre Shows. 

The “BIG” shows at Stepping Stone Theatre are not paid. Some people have this notion that I rake in the cash under my mattress and little do they know. We are volunteers who donate our time and talent to put these shows together. We donate 100% of the profits back to the theatre in order to support the work they do with young adults in the community. Last year alone we donated over $12,000 in just three nights! That is C.R.A.Z.Y.!!  At aprox. $10 tickets, that’s over 1,200 seats sold. That is the loyal support we get from our followers and Michael Jackson fans. We are so thankful and so blessed to have audiences like that.  This year, we are doing 6 shows over a two-weekend period and we hope to pull in close or over $20,000 and donate Every. Single. Penny.

As you can see, we’re rich!! Knowing that we do so much to give back to our community makes us filthy-rich. Knowing that you can help make a difference makes you feel like a million dollars.
