Hello dear instructors/specialists. Did you know working independently under the roof at 3141 Wharton Way (and anywhere else you offer dance instruction to the public…) YOU are responsible for annual payment of SOCAN or similar fees (explanation below) for the privalige of using music to enhance your lesson/rehearsal! DID YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO, THE CONTINENTAL DANCE CLUB CAN BE HELD RESPONSIBLE?!
I want to ensure everyone using the venue is aware of this point and with respect, TODAY I am messaging you all when I request:
Kindly EMAIL director Brian Torner [email protected] before JANUARY 31, 2019 copy of PROOF OF PAYMENT of YOUR 2019 PUBLIC MUSIC RIGHTS.
THANK YOU!
SOCAN: Every year we receive a number of inquiries about SOCAN so here’s a little reminder. SOCAN protects music rights and licenses music access. A SOCAN licence gives you the freedom and flexibility to use virtually any music you want for your business or public event. CDF has negotiated a license agreement for its members which is essentially a group rate, resulting in the lowest possible fee. Without paying this fee, you risk the chance of being fined. If you have paid your SOCAN fee and are contacted by SOCAN, you simply need to let them know that you are covered under the CDF group rate and they will then check with CDF directly. This license is personal and applies to wherever you are working. However, your participation in SOCAN is entirely your choice and separate from your involvement with CDF.
