5/5 from 682 reviews
Photo of The Waltzing Matildas The Waltzing Matildas "We asked Valerie Hudson of the Waltzing Matilda’s to play piano and sing at the Celebration of Life ceremony for my wife’s mother. The event was to celebrate the 99 years of her life. It was a very uplifting and emotional event and Valerie’s renditions of jazz tunes including I Will Always Love You, Smile, Wonderful World, Blue Sky, I’ll be Seeing You and others were very well done and added immensely to the celebration. Thanks Valerie!" Based in Calgary, Alberta 29th September 2026 David White - Celebration of Life Photo of THE LATIN LOVERS THE LATIN LOVERS "So tight! So talented! Amazing performers with impeccable choice in both wonderfully well written originals and stunning covers of crowd pleasing favourites. One of my favourite bands I've ever seen!" Based in Nelson, British Columbia (177 miles from Calgary) Gee Campos Photo of Annika & the Earthlings Annika & the Earthlings "Thanks for a fantastic evening! We have booked our next year's Christmas event, on Dec 5, 2026. Same venue. I would love if we can have the band play for us again!!! Kindly confirm. Mike" Based in Abbotsford, British Columbia (387 miles from Calgary) 21st March 2026 Mike - Coastland Engineering Photo of The Unknowns The Unknowns "There are songs that just stand out because they are so different from everything out there. “Stay Down Kat”, by The Unknowns, is definitely one of those songs. There’s a suave, jazzy, bluesy feel to this song, with great lead and backing vocals. It’s sultry, sensual, mysterious, and controlled, yet it has its powerful moments. And who can resist a great sax solo? Those things will draw you in, and soon The Unknowns will be known." Based in Bellingham, Washington, United States (406 miles from Calgary) George Duchow - WRGG Radio Photo of Buddy and the scarecrow Buddy and the scarecrow "From the very first time I saw/heard this band at the FAIRVIEW PUB I knew they were something special, what sets this band apart from most is the way they play as a seamless unit, great jams that can get you moving on the dance floor and every member of the band is a really nice person that will engage in a conversation with any fan. I have seen them play many many times and each time I leave I am left wanting more and awaiting the next show. If you have not seen this band I suggest you take the time to seek them out and hear what you have been missing" Based in Vancouver, British Columbia (419 miles from Calgary) TED COPELAND - just a fan of good music Photo of Good Co Good Co "We hired Good Co for our 1920's themed holiday party. They were extremely flexible and accommodating, especially when we asked if they would follow our leadership around the office as they gathered people for the party. Awesome talent, great at judging sound vs space. Our office is pretty echo-y and loud, but they found the right balance immediately. Definitely keeping on the books for next time!" Based in Seattle, Washington, United States (441 miles from Calgary) Ashley V - Corporate Party

Hiring dance bands typically costs between $320 and $6,000+, with an average of $1,900. The price depends on the number of musicians, set duration and the style of dance music. Dance bands vary from compact combos to large ensembles with horn sections, and the size of the line-up is the primary cost driver.

The dance bands in Calgary, Alberta, Canada cover a wide range of popular dance music including pop, disco, funk, soul, Motown, rock and current chart hits. Most dance bands focus on well-known, uptempo songs designed to fill the dance floor at parties and celebrations.

Common events for dance bands include weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, proms and any celebration where getting guests dancing is a priority. A live dance band brings energy and interaction that a DJ or playlist cannot match.

Typical bookings for dance bands are two to three hours of live music, split into high-energy sets designed to keep guests on the dance floor. Short breaks between sets give the band and audience a chance to reset before the next round. It is worth discussing the event schedule with the band to plan the best format.
