I've agreed to come up with a contract form (or language) for a dancer (a close friend) who is hired occasionally by a club for performing private 'parties'. This so far has included more than one dancer for the 'party'. This would protect (I hope) the dancer from being short-changed by the club even if the club's 'party' customer defrauds the club or them individually.
These dancers apparently have no sense of business format or requirements; they only see money promised them and otherwise have no way to protect themselves from fraud. Some have been defrauded already when they did a 'party' without club arrangements/sponsoring. (Someone called and stated they were the person's "bankruptcy lawyer, and it is illegal to hold the check they obtained after the 'party'. so they got scared and tore up the check! Of course that was a sham and they were defrauded, probably by he guy's wife. Stupid.)
I've suggested, for individually arranged 'parties', obtaining half the payment down when the party is arranged and the other half when they arrive prepared to perform. They are slow to learn, even my friend - so naive but so enthusiastic.
I've quoted 'party' because it's really a 'dance' and it's not even that really. (Far as I know it's been legit.)
Anyhow I'm looking for contract tips and/or language. Thank you for your attention.
