Step Up Movie style Dance Event - In Switzerland - help me!

[krupt]

Hey guys, I'm in Switzerland as I got offered a job out here.

Everyday I go to the gym and when I come out I see this group of street dancers with their boombox dancing, then some days there are more and people just stand by watching them

I had a little idea - as this town I'm in is pretty small, 50'000 population for example

I was thinking of seeing if I could organize a one-off event - if it's a success, never know, could easily do more but for now, just want to do a one-off one

Most of these people are like 16 - 21 aged. I was thinking of giving a prize like...say $5k to the winner

Teams of 4

I spread it on Facebook, through some of the local guys here, the local colleges that you have to make up teams of 4 then you have head-offs

Winning team wins $5k cash

Now location, I've found a place here. It's an underground club, holds about 600 people or something, Quite urban feel to it. They'll let me take the premises for around $1k for the night.

To make money, I'm thinking team who want to enter have to pay a REGISTRY fee - so if there are 4 members in each them, they pay $5 each so per team that is $20

Then to enter the club, a fee for a ticket to watch the event for all normal people $10

Now I was thinking of trying to get some advertisers on board, but I'm in a new country, no one knows me, this is the first time something like this is going to go down here, not really sure how to approach local business's - any thoughts?

Any other ideas I could generate some income from this to cover my costs?

I want to cover it on Youtube / Facebook ... the works! By profession I do graphic design so all marketing material like posters/website I can handle all
