Starting in Fall 2015, we started using a sliding-scale subscription model. We also changed subscriptions to include Saturday dances. With the sliding-scale subscription price, the higher end of the price was typically set so that it represented a very small (or even negative) discount on paying single prices for all dances, so in essence, people paying the higher price were giving a donation to the club. Nevertheless, people seemed happy to do that, and the sliding-scale model appeared to be a success. However, some people didn't realize that the high end wasn't a discount and were a little frustrated by that, so it's best to be clear about at least the number of Tuesday and Saturday dances covered by the subscription period ("covers 19 Tuesday and one Saturday dance") when advertising the subscription range.
Class members get their first class free, so to be sure there's a financial incentive for class members to buy a subscription, the subscription period starts the second week of class and finishes As of Summer 2023, the sliding-scale subscription price for a period with N weeks is set to $5N-10 for the low end, and $10N - 10 for the high end. The spring and fall subscription periods start the first week of class and finish one week after the last week of class. This exactly determines the dates of all of the subscription periods. The dates for class are determined by the PE calendar which is related to the academic calendar. Tech ; Tech Squares has a handy projected dates spreadsheet. (Note: As of Prior to 2022, class members now pay bought subscriptions rather than paying a separate " class fee" rather than buying a subscription and checking in at gate — therefore, possibly we should just realign subscription periods with the start of class.), so to be sure there was a financial incentive for class members to buy a subscription, the subscription period started the second week of class and finished the last week of class.)
Prices should be loaded into SquaresDB when set.
We don't dance when MIT is closed, and prices need to reflect that. MIT is closed:
