CÓMO BAILAR CON EQUIPO DE SONIDO

Cada año, Dance Parade reúne a más de 200 organizaciones, más de 10 000 bailarines y 75 vehículos y carrozas. Gestionamos esta logística ofreciendo las siguientes opciones de sonido y vehículos. Aunque las opciones de mayor presupuesto brindan el sonido más completo para sus bailarines, también hay opciones de bajo presupuesto disponibles:

1. Opción más barata Muchos de los participantes de nuestro grupo por primera vez eligen bailar con el sonido proporcionado por otro grupo. ¿Eres un grupo de salsa? ¡Entonces te haremos bailar detrás de otro grupo de salsa que esté dispuesto a compartir su sonido!

2. Trae tu propio sonido -- Tener sonido amplificado al aire libre siempre es un desafío y puede ser costoso. Permitimos que los vehículos transporten hasta 6 altavoces (preferiblemente 4). Se permiten hasta 60 vehículos en el desfile. Although there is an additional vehicle fee for gas powered vehicles, this may be a good option. Generator powered sound systems are the best.  A 3000 watt Honda Generator require gasoline and can be rented from Home Depot for $70/day.

3. Alquila un Sound-Pod de nosotros -- we work with a sound company who provides a single SoundBoks speaker on a wheeled platform. that is known as the loudest wireless speaker in the world. Limited Supply: https://danceparade.org/sound-pods

4. Create and Bring your own Parade Float - Bring your art car, flatbed truck or pickup pulling a decorated trailor. All vehicles will be inspected by NYPD Highway patrol to be safe and street legal. Vehicle fees of $135 applies to all gas-powered vehicles (additional fee after March 1st)

5. Obtener un Parade Float de nosotros -- We work with the largest, most reliable float company in the Northeast to make your dreams come true with a "Turnkey" solution to have a decorated/moving stage with sound system.  After submitting your designs, just show up on Parade Day and dance the day away. Feature up to 3 sponsors. Los flotadores comienzan en $3000 depending on size, design and audio options. $500 Deposit due March 21st. Complete order due April 15th.

Order T-shirts for your Team

Have a group that you want to look unified for the parade? Consider making or ordering tshirts. There are two ways to do this:

1) Use one of these two logos to create your own tshirts. We recommend putting your logo on the front and ours on the back. Shirts look best with a transparent (.png) logo format. This is the less costlier and more burdensome option as you will have to find your own tshir vendor, order various sizes for your group and distribute them individually. This option is recommended for those who have experience making their own tshirts.

                     

Download one-color image for light t-shirts        Download white color image for dark shirts

Download multi-color image for dark t-shirts

Option 2) Let us setup your own store to drop-ship your shirts. Just send sabrina@danceparade.org a png of your logo and give her a preferred color that contrasts with the logo. We will set up a store for you (see examples) to sell $30 tshirts to your team. Simply distribute the link and have your members order their individual shirts. Upon ordering, a custom printed shirt will be printed, packaged and sent directly to your members within 10 days of order.
