Attendance

Total attendance at our regular 1st and 3rd Sunday dances. Includes dancers and volunteers, but not performers or board members. Does not include Spark in the Dark, evenings with family dances, or other special events.

Financials

This shows how all our events have done financially. It has all our events, including Spark in the Dark and other special events, with the exception of Beantown Stomp.

Income

This is how much money we received at the door, plus advance tickets if we did that.

Use current dollars (adjust for inflation).

BIDA Profit / Loss

This is the effect of running the dance on our bank account. How much money is left after paying the hall, musicians, caller, sound, etc?

One thing that makes things confusing is we have two kinds of profit:

• Raw profit: money left over after paying fixed expenses, but before paying bonuses to the band and caller.
• BIDA profit: money BIDA actually gets to keep. This is raw profit minus performer bonuses, and is what we graph here.
