Booking Workshops
I’ve never booked or attended any workshops and was wondering if anybody had any advice.
I am not a studio owner or instructor. None of the studios in my area are willing to host, so myself and my peers were looking to organise something amongst ourselves. Is this likely to be ok? Will whoever provides the workshop be expecting support from an experienced instructor? Will I need to pay travel expenses and accomodation additionally?

It all depends on the person who is teaching. I want to say most expect you to cover accomodations and a set amount of money they will earn. If you do not sell enough workshops you will be held responsible for making up the difference. Some have a minimum number of people per workshop and a max person to pole ratio. I am not sure how insurances are worked out, either. I know many carry their own teaching insurance but what if one of your poles came down while someone was on it? This is obviously not the instructors fault and I do not believe their insurance would cover such an event.
I am sure it can be done, however I am not sure if it would be financially feasible.

I don’t think filling the workshops will be an issue. I already know of 6 people who will definitely attend. I am looking into it because there’s demand. Is it possible the studio itself is insured? Absolutely ANYBODY can rent it. I’ve never signed any sort of liability form when using it.

Unfortunately there are many studios that are not insured. This is something that you would have to ask them about. I am very surprised that they would not have you fill out any sort of forms when renting the space.
I know there are studio owners and people who travel and teach workshops here!
