Expectations

As a premier production company, KL Performance Industry prides itself on providing the very best entertainment. It is the professionalism of our talent that ensures we continue to provide exceptional service for our clients and we thank everyone for their continuous efforts!

Please read the expectations below to ensure you have a thorough understanding of KL Performance Industry's protocols. Please be aware that it is expected that all talent adhere to the below information at every event.

• You must attend ALL rehearsals/meetings that are set for your gig (If you cannot attend you must communicate with Kate or Leah to let them know)

• You must warm up before every rehearsal (this is your individual responsibility)

• Inform Kate or Leah of ANY injuries or illnesses that may affect your performance

• Ensure to practise prior to rehearsals - this is very important as it reduces our need for multiple rehearsals and allows us to polish instead of learn/remember choreography

• You must ask any questions regarding ‘unknown choreography’ prior to rehearsals

• You will need to maintain your dance ability and keep up your fitness

• If you miss a rehearsal, you must know all choreography before the next rehearsal (we film most rehearsals) - Please request a video and or music so you can practice before attending the next rehearsal

KL Performance Industry provides most costumes and accessories for all events and activities. Dancing events however, may require you to bring your own: You will be informed what you need on a job by job basis.

• Fishnet tights (Ensure to purchase the colour ‘Toffee’ from Capezio so we all wear the same)

• Chorus Shoes (Black or beige - depending on the job)

• Black boots 

• Undergarments (Nude g-string and nude strapless/normal bra)

Costumes and accessories MUST be treated with care. KL Performance Industry costumes and accessories are very delicate and require you to take them on and off with care.

• Costumes must be returned as you received it - folded nicely

• Feathers must stay away from ALL liquids and not be bent

• Fake tan at least a day before to avoid staining costumes

• Wear deodorant to minimise perspiration 

• Report any problems with costumes to Kate or Leah

Under no circumstances can anyone make the call to alter the look of the costume without permissions from KL Performance Industry.

Jewellery:

We require all personal jewellery to be removed when wearing costumes. Earring, necklaces, bracelets, watches etc. must be removed and the only jewellery that can be worn is the jewellery requested by or supplied by KL Performance Industry. Exceptions can be made for belly buttons only when dancing at Gilligans.

Tattoos:

All visible tattoos must be covered up with makeup.

Makeup: 

Full stage make-up (including thick eyelashes and red lipstick) must be worn at every event unless stated otherwise. 

Arrival and departing from events:

• Corporate blacks - When arriving and leaving events, we require our talent to look professional. No crop tops, short shorts or casual shoes are to be worn. Talent must arrive and leave in long black pants or tights (no holes), enclosed black or white runners and a KLPI shirt. On occasion (you will be notified as this depends on the event), you may be requested to arrive in classy cocktail style clothes with heels.

• You are required to arrive and leave from all events with your makeup complete (unless stated otherwise). Never remove your makeup after the event unless you have permission to (for example - special effects makeup or face painting that is out of the ordinary will be allowed to be removed before leaving the dressing room with approval).

Good communication between dancers, management and our clients is crucial to the success of our team. If you encounter any issues regarding work purposes, you are required to contact Kate (0429 008 484) or Leah (0438 703 604), do not contact the client without liaising with one of us. The only reason you would be contacting a client is if there is an emergency.

Our primary means of communication is through Facebook, Facebook messenger and messages. 

Facebook Group: KLPI Work

KLPI Work is a group that we have made to connect with you all, build a strong KL community and share job opportunities. Either Kate or Leah will post on the page with details of any upcoming bookings. If this is a job that interests you, comment on the post or message Kate and Leah privately to be considered for this position.

• Kate and Leah post information regarding events, rehearsal times and more on the page. To acknowledge that you have seen and read the post, please like the post.

Booking Enquiries:

If a client or guest of an event requests further information or enquires about booking dancers or any other form of entertainment, please direct them to the KL Performance Industry representative on site. If you are unable to direct them to this person, please inform them that you are working with KL Performance Industry and that they are active and easy to find on social media. Providing your own contact information to clients or guests is not appropriate during events while working under KL Performance Industry at any time.

Body language communicates your intentions and feelings. Effective communication skills in the workplace involve more than just speaking. Nonverbal communication is one of many tools that can help you make a professional impression. We expect that all talent working with KL Performance Industry look bright, bubbly and approachable while still being professional.

Some specific types of body language that KL Performance Industry expect include:

• Facial expressions like smiling, bright open eyes

• Gestures like waving, calling someone over, thumbs up

• Postures like sitting up straight with a tall back and feet positioned like a dancer

• Eye contact - looking someone in the eyes while they are talking

• Forms of touch like a handshake or a high 5 (generally with children)

• Body movements like clapping

When working with KL Performance Industry you are considered a contractor (not an employee) and therefore require your own individual Australian Business Nunmber (ABN) in order to be paid. 

At the completion of an event/booking you are required to send through a tax invoice that clearly indicates the job role, amount paid, dates and times. Please note that as you are a contractor, KL Performance Industry does not contribute to your tax or superannuation - it is your responsibility to cover this. If you have any further questions regarding your ABN or invoicing, please seek professional advice from your accountant.

PAYMENT TERMS:

The payment date and payment period varies depending on each job. We aim to have invoices paid within 6 weeks, however it is common that they are processed sooner.

Social media:

All social media content must be approved by KL Performance Industry before being uploaded. Please ensure to tag and mention KL Performance Industry in any posts that you have been approved to post. This protects KLPI creative content and ensures that we continue to provide exceptional and unique experiences to our clients. Please send content wanting to be posted to Kate and Leah in a group message to be approved. We ask for everyones cooperation in this system.

Nightclub Dancers:

All dancers are required to go out to their podium sets on time and are expected to always give their best effort and be professional. Failure to do so will result in you being removed from the roster and will affect your future hiring with KL Performance Industry.

General:

• Have a clean fake tan for every event and make sure your makeup matches your tan.

• Always arrive on time to rehearsals and events.

• Do not upload any inappropriate photos of yourselves or others.

• Professional behaviour and conduct is expected both while you are working and out of work hours

• Be careful of your behaviour outside of any KL Performance Industry work. We are promoting a professional and desirable dance group who are clean and classy.

• Photos and videos will constantly be taken so interact with the camera and always smile. :)

• When working, please keep in mind you are not only representing yourself but you are representing KL Performance Industry.
