Photo of Son Venezuela Son Venezuela "KSMHOF inducted 2024...best Latin act in Kansas. Latin Dance Orchestra celebration of 30 years!!" Based in Kansas City, Missouri Byron Jones Photo of Sass Monkey Sass Monkey "The process of acquiring Sass Monkey for my event went pretty flawlessly. Don kept in contact with me on what to expect and it was coordinated with no concerns on my end. The band sounded great and the young gal singing had a voice that was terrific. Great experience. Thanks to the whole crew." Based in Overland Park, Kansas (10 miles from Kansas City) Susan Photo of The James Pitts Band The James Pitts Band "James Pitts runs the gamut from sweet and smooth to uplifting and downright raucous without skipping a beat. He bends strings, works the slide and coaxes notes from the guitar only very accomplished guitarists can create."

Frequently asked questions

Hiring dance bands typically costs between $240 and $3,950+, with an average of $1,350. 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 for hire 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.

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.

Most dance bands bring their own PA system, instruments and basic stage lighting. Some bands offer enhanced lighting packages as an optional extra. For larger venues, additional sound or lighting may be needed. It is advisable to confirm all technical requirements before booking.

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.

Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
