- Plenty of notice; it makes it more likely the side can say yes and more likely there'll be lots of dancers and musicians.
- Hard surfaces to dance on; the harder and louder the dance surface is, the better the performance can be. Foxs can dance on grass, but prefer not to.
- A reasonably prominent spot; Foxs don't require floodlit stages or tiered seating, but also prefer not to dance around the back of the bike sheds!
- Close Performance times; if asked to perform more than one 'spot', an hour is plenty of time for a break; three hours is too long.
- Wet weather options; many instruments played by Foxs musicians cost hundreds of pounds and cannot get wet, so a covered/indoor performance space would be needed if it is raining.
- Tea/Coffee/Charity Shops/Wetherspoons pubs; all of these score a tick when accepting 'dance outs'!
