Photo of La Rosa Oscura Flamenco La Rosa Oscura Flamenco "Jennifer was absolutely the LIFE of our party! She is super easy to communicate with, very accommodating, more than punctual and even flexible when our internal event scheduling fell behind. She had our event guests clapping, dancing, and of course cheering between every song. We hope we can feature La Rosa Oscura again in the future and look forward to visiting her at shows around the city. Thank you, Jennifer!!!!" Based in Mundelein, Illinois (34 miles from Chicago) Linda Stoklasa-Craig - Friends of Moos Elementary School nonprofit Photo of MS Flamenco MS Flamenco "Great work she absolutely made the building shake and left an impact on the people in Ulm Germany" Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (436 miles from Chicago) 10th October 2026 Ulm - Festival Photo of TropiCanada Cuban Cabaret TropiCanada Cuban Cabaret "Our performers were exceptional! Teria Morada and Azucar Picante Entertainment supplied us with an incredible band, vocalist, dance instructor and Cuban drag artist. Every element of the show was exceptional and we had total confidence in Teria from the get-go. Teria and her fellow leader, Adis Rodriguez were incredibly generous with our audience who weren't that familiar with Cuban music and dance. They never made anyone feel awkward and instead, drew everyone into the experience. Havana Queen, the drag artist was a big hit with the audience too. I can't say enought good things about the whole experience." Based in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada (445 miles from Chicago) 18th October 2026 Timothy Dawson - Kingston Road Village Concert Series Photo of Flamencodanza Show Flamencodanza Show "Dancer Aylin combined passion, elegance and precision, with her crisp clean footwork, lyrical palmas (rhythmic handclapping) and beautiful braceo (flamenco carriage of the arms, wrist and body). A particular highlight for me was watching Aylin’s complete mastery of the mantón (a traditional, square silk shawl with macramé fringe). It was truly impressive to watch her twirl the large mantón with such control, making it an extension of her body. What truly elevates Flamencodanza is the seamless symbiosis between Bayaz and Mannola, a partnership that clearly comes from years of working together. Every shift in rhythm, dynamic and tempo was instinctively matched, with dancer and guitarist responding to one another in a fluid, unspoken dialogue. Watching movement and music unfold together with such connection breathed life into the art form. At its heart, Flamencodanza is a conversation. Not just between dancer and musician, but also the artists and the audience. Together, Bayaz and Mannola create something intimate and absorbing, reminding us that flamenco is not just seen or heard, but deeply felt." Based in New York (712 miles from Chicago) 13th February 2026 Sharnaz Aziz-Tan - Show at a theatre in Perth, Australia Photo of Lal Batti Lal Batti "It was an absolute pleasure having Lal perform at our club. Their stage presence was captivating, and the audience was thoroughly entertained throughout the entire show. The energy they brought to the venue was truly infectious. Furthermore, their engagement during the meet and greet session was incredibly warm and personal, leaving a lasting positive impression on our guests. We wholeheartedly recommend their talent for any event."

The Guitarist was phenomenal and the Dancer was amazing. She had everyone on their feet Dancing along with her. What a treat!" Based in New Smyrna Beach, Florida (963 miles from Chicago) Sanjeev Dua

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring dancers is $340, with prices from $110 to $1,050+. Cost depends on the number of performers, show duration, choreography complexity and whether costumes are provided. Dance acts range from solo performers to large troupes, and groups with more dancers and elaborate routines are priced accordingly.

The dancers perform in a wide range of styles including ballet, contemporary, salsa, tango, Bollywood, flamenco, breakdance, burlesque, samba and traditional cultural dances. Some performers also offer themed or choreographed routines for specific event types.

Many dancers offer interactive elements such as teaching guests basic dance steps, leading group dance routines or running short workshops as part of their booking. This works particularly well at weddings, corporate team-building events and parties.

Most dancers require a flat, stable performance area with enough space for their routine. The exact space needed depends on the number of dancers and the style of dance. Some performances may also require a sound system or a specific type of flooring. Gig Heaven recommends confirming all requirements with the performers.

Performance length varies depending on the style and format. A feature show is typically 15 to 30 minutes, while roaming or ambient dancers can perform for one to three hours. Interactive workshops usually last 30 to 60 minutes. For the best experience, discuss the best format for your event.

Wedding bookings are among the most frequent, usually as a short feature during the reception or as a lesson for the couple beforehand. Cultural and themed weddings often use a group for an entrance or a set piece between courses. Where the couple want to learn a routine themselves, that is arranged separately from the performance.

Both are available and the choice usually follows the style: a single performer suits a short feature or moving among guests, while formation and cultural routines need three or more. Larger groups cost more but fill a bigger stage and read better to a seated audience. If space or budget is the deciding factor, say which, as it changes the recommendation.

Two or three short appearances across an evening is a common format, spacing out a feature show, a section among the guests and a finale rather than performing once. Costume changes between sets need somewhere private and a few minutes of notice. Agreeing the running order with the venue is what stops these slots clashing with speeches or food.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. 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.
