Answer 1

We have done all kinds of fundraising! Here are a few things we have done:
~sold cookie dough, candy bars, pizzas, t-shirts, gift cards and gift certificates, flowers at recital,
~car washes
~worked concession stands at local events
~sleepovers, we did this at our dance studio & the older team girls ran the sleepover, the younger students attended and paid a fee that covered dinner and craft supplies, then the remainder money was the team's profit
~parents night out--this is the same concept as the sleepover, except it was just babysitting for the evening. The parents dropped off the children at the studio, the older team girls ran it, they paid a babysitting fee for the evening, dinner, dancing, and a craft was included

good luck!

Answer 2

Usually, dance studios send out fund raisers (candles, candy, etc.). I've learned that many parents just buy the product from their children and not too much money is actually made. My studio does car washes every year, and they are extremely successful (they're usually done somewhere like McDonalds on a really hot day). Coin drops are usually successful. Sometimes you can make a deal with a family-oriented restraunt (TGI Fridays for example) in which people come to eat at the restraunt on a selected night, bringing with them a coupon. When it's time to pay, you hand in the coupon, and the restraunt gives a percentage of the money to the dance school. You can also perfom at local fairs. Be sure that the dancers get involved in whatever you do, and have them all wear matching colors, or a dance school jacket so that they get lots of attention.

Answer 3

Since people in your community -i guess- like to dance
you should hold a school dance -not anything formal just wear whatever and hang out with your buds
my school does it all the time to raise money for football and cheerleading
maybe you could also have a bake sale-or go to a school and sell things there for lunch-im sure kids would buy stuff because everyone hates school food
hmm maybe have a talent show for your dancers-wearing just their regular clothes
and to get in you have to buy a ticket
soryy i am all out of ideas-hope i helped♥♥

Answer 4

If you are lucky enough to have access to a stretch of water, have a raft building competition with prizes for best raft then race them. Charge teams to enter - local businesses to sponsor teams in return for advertising and ask for prizes and materials to be donated. Use the local press and media. You could (but you would need to check on local laws) have a sweep-stake on the winner. Finish off with a barbeque and charge for burgers etc. Approach local youth groups to take part. Scouts and Guides love this sort of thing! Plus if you get the kids there, parents usually attend to and will spend their money! Hope this helps.
