What to charge for dance ministry

[Dave]

I've been booked to lead a messianic dance day for a church next month. It turns out I can't make it due to work commitments, and a couple of friends will be doing it for me.



But I'm still involved with the planning, and the dreaded spectre of money has reared its ugly head...



I'd be interested to ask the forum what they consider would be an appropriate amount to charge/expect for an all day event (10:30am to 4:30pm) involving 4.5 hours of teaching/leading time, plus preparation. Travel time is about 1.5 hours each way. Also, what factors do you take into account when working charges out. Assume that the host church is of, say, 200 members, and not struggling financially.



I realise that most people will be in the US, where the currency and cost of living are different to the UK, but I'd still be interested to see what you think.
