CALLING ALL PROFESSIONAL DANCERS

Scope of Project:

Northlich’s client is looking to build awareness of its two big jackpot games Powerball and Mega Millions, during this year’s Ohio State Fair in Columbus, Ohio. We will surprise and entertain the general public by hosting the first-ever Lottery Dance-Off during this year’s Fair. The stars of this event will be four mascots dressed in costumes inspired by the new game, dancing alongside 50 dancers.

This request is for four professionally trained dancers who are accustomed to wearing mascot-like costumes. Two of the four dancers would be required to perform a short dance routine for the actual performance, and also serve as mascots at an Ohio State Fair booth. The remaining dancers will be dressed in costume and rotate activities or serve as extras.
