Hello there,
I was very excited today to learn that there is a local community built around busking. Busking is something I have long wanted to do in Seattle--the opportunities were around me all my life growing up in Seattle, and I have fond memories of being entertained by others. Now I would love to return the favor to this city and those who walk her streets and enjoy her festivals.

I would love to hear some advice from current buskers, and learn some wisdom from your experiences.

Tell me how you got started.
What did you have to do to "get in" on the community and the permits et al?
Where do you like to busk and why?
Any favorite anecdotes?

Additionally, I would love to hear specifically from dancers! I have met many musicians/singers, but very few dancers. Dance is what I and my group would like to do, and anything specific to that would be of particular interest. But honestly, I would love to hear from anyone and everyone. :)

Nice to "meet" you!
