MISSION STATEMENTS

---

Savoy AMBASSADOR

Join our Ambassador team
​and help our guests enjoy Savoy.

First:  Join our Savoy Ballroom Dancers Group.

Second:  Create a PROFILE PICK for Savoy. 
​Better yet, create TWO; one "default" and a second Pick featuring your own personalized text and photo. 

Third:  Become familiar with Savoy, including our scheduled shows and events, our dance machines and dance organization, our Museum (both floors and balcony) and our Swing Era Dance 301 Classroom.   Be prepared to guide our guests through all aspects of the Savoy experience.

When you are ready, contact a Savoy Show Guide or Imagineer to get your tag upgraded to "Ambassador."  You can continue to use the other Savoy group tags you have as well.

Tips:  Please note that Ambassadors are asked to volunteer their time for free and not request tips.  Instead, encourage guests to contribute a tip to the Team Fox tip jars to the right of both stages.   If you are interested in earning tips here, please look at our Show Guides, Hosts and DJ performer options.

Savoy Hosts, Guides & DJs

Become a creative partner in SAVOY by hosting your own themed show and contributing to the content of the experience.
Tips to performing talent, including Show Guides, are encouraged.

We have several ways to be part of the Savoy Content Team
1 - HOST an existing Radio Playlist Show (on SAVOYstream)
2 - GUIDE a Radio Playlist Show  (on SAVOYstream)
3 - DJ your own show music (on your DJ Stream)

Our Show Hosts use a SavoyStream show playlist and provide creative content enhancement to that playlist music

Our Show Guides are hosts who become  more deeply involved in the show experience, such as playlist curating, recorded personal sounders and ad spots on SavoyStream.

Our DJs provide their own music stream during their show.

Our Hosts, Guides and DJs are required to promote the success of their show in the following ways:
1 - Be self-sufficient.   Run your show.  Learn venue controls.
2 - List your show in SL Events.   We encourage a week prior to show date.
3 - Post notices and chat announcements to the Savoy Ballroom Dancers Group the day of, and prior to the start of your show hours.
4 - Post message to our Savoy iSubscribe list prior to start of show.
5 - Be an Ambassador to our guests (profile picks)
We have several other groups to suggest to help you build the success of your show.

Savoy will:
1 - Create a show flyer for you, for use in our signage and in notice attachments.
2 - List your show in the monthly Events list, and on the website.
3 - Promote your show with ad spots on SavoyStream (with side stage signs during spot) and auto-triggered main stage sign.
4 - Create a monthly Savoy Showcase party where we can all join together and create a special 3-hour event.  (Dates vary)
5 - Promote all Savoy shows in a variety of ways.   Website, Facebook Page, FB Promoted Events, and in-world PR list.

Goals for our Show Hosts, Guides and DJs:
1.  At all times, have fun, and be creative.
2.  Enhance the content of your show and engage the experience of your audience.
3.  Publicize your show, and the other SAVOY shows, to your network of contacts and groups (as appropriate)
4.  If you have an idea for your show and can do it, do it.  If you need Carl's help to do it, you got it.
5.  Arrive early to welcome your early guests
GOAL: Sustain a show attendance of 8+ guests over the time slot

  Your commitment:
One Show Per Week (or once a month)
Day and time pretty much your choice subject to Savoy and Creations Park regular events.
Your live show can be either EURO or US prime time slots  (11A-24 or 5P-9P SL) or other times you can make work
