Dancers can open a corporate event in Vancouver, give a short feature between the speeches, or get guests up to join in. Plan a few things first: how many pieces, how much floor, the music, and whether guests take part. Send us your date, venue and guest count, and you can compare options with prices for dancers who are available that day.
How many pieces
Dancers perform choreographed pieces. Ask how many pieces they’d suggest for your event, how long each one runs, and whether they perform them together or at different points in the evening.
How much floor
Ask how much space the dancers need and what floor suits their style. Check with the venue that the space will be clear when they perform, and ask for a private place for them to change and warm up.
Music and sound
Ask whether the dancers bring their own music and a speaker, or need to use the venue’s sound system. If they use the venue’s, send them a list of what it has.
Guests joining in
Some dancers end with a short part where guests can join in and learn a few steps. If you’d like that, ask whether they offer it, and how many guests can take part at once.
When they perform
Pick a moment when guests are seated or gathered and the room can watch, and tell the dancers when it is. Tell them the theme of your event, if there is one, so they can suggest a style and costumes to suit it.
Questions to ask before you book
- How many pieces would you suggest, and how long does each one run?
- How much floor do you need, and what surface suits your style?
- Do you bring your own music and sound?
- Can guests join in at the end?
- Do you need a place to change and warm up?
- Can you send a video of a recent performance?
- If our venue asks for proof of insurance, can you send it?
What changes the price
The price depends on how many pieces or hours you book, the number of dancers, whether it’s a Saturday or in the holiday season, and travel outside Metro Vancouver.
How booking works with AGNT
AGNT is a booking company. You send us your date, venue and guest count, and we check which dancers in Vancouver are available that day. We send you options with prices. You pick one, and it’s booked once the deposit is paid. If your first pick isn’t available, we’ll tell you and suggest a similar act who is.
Some of the Vancouver dancers you can book through AGNT are Samba Fusion, The Lolas Showgirls and Brazilian Samba Dance Performance. You can see more on dancers for hire in Vancouver.
How we put this together
We wrote this from what people ask when they book dancers: how many pieces, the floor, the music and whether guests take part. It doesn’t list prices, because they depend on your date, the number of dancers and what you book. You’ll see prices with the options we send.
