About Performance Requests (Frequently Asked Questions)

When are you available to perform?

As our team is made up of students and working professionals, we are unable to perform on weekdays between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Our performances require both a minimum number of performers as well as our equipment and we have been unsuccessful at arranging daytime weekday performances.

How much does it cost?

We request a donation fee of $599 minimum for a private organization event (i.e. weddings, fee-based functions, store Grand Opening events, corporate, etc.). For schools and non-profit cultural events, we usually perform for a voluntary donation! Donations go directly into team maintenance which includes equipment purchase and repair, transportation, and troupe outings.

When will I receive confirmation that you can perform?

Upon receiving a complete request, your request will be reviewed by KFDUSA Team Lead / Director. If we need more information or we are unable to perform during that time slot you will be contacted. Otherwise, you will be assigned a Contact Manager. After the details of the performance request are squared away, the Contact Manager will submit your request to the team for processing. The amount of processing time varies based on time of the year and team member availability, but when we do know for certain, the Contact Manager will give you a CONFIRMED answer.

Note: Until you receive a definite confirmation from a Contact Manager, we CANNOT GUARANTEE that we will be available. If you need an answer by a certain date, but we have not given you a CONFIRMED answer, then our official answer is “No, we are unfortunately unavailable.”

Can I request numbers of lions and performers?

Absolutely! However, this is entirely based on availability.

We have a minimum number of available performers that we need before we can accept a performance request. We will not confirm our team availability unless we can provide a performance which does justice to our team and our style of lion dancing. We do not do “half” performances.

Does KFDUSA perform outside of the City of Pleasanton?

While we do occasionally perform outside of Pleasanton, such performances incur additional costs including transportation, fuel, wear and tear, as well as opportunity cost. The Kungfu Dragon USA/Lion Dance Team reserves the right to request additional compensation for out-of-town performances. The out-of-town fees vary depending on travel distance, the date of the event, and the availability of our performers.

What if I don’t have all of the information about my event?

Until we have confirmed the date, time, and location of a performance we cannot accurately determine if our team is available to perform for your event. Event requests submitted without this information will be considered incomplete as we will be unable to begin our request evaluation process.

What happens in the event of rain?

In the event of rainy conditions on the date of an outdoor performance, we will make reasonable accommodations to ensure fulfillment of the performance agreement. If, however, we cannot guarantee the safety of our performers and equipment (our lions are made of balsa wood/paper-mâché and our drum top is stretched leather… both are irreparably damaged in rain), we reserve the right to postpone, reschedule, or cancel any performance. In these rare circumstances, we will work with you to arrive at a mutually agreeable solution.

What if I have a question not answered on this page?

Please send us an e-mail and one of our Contact Managers will be happy to answer any questions you might have.
