94 LED performers are available to book, and the category is broader than the name suggests. It takes in glow dancers in programmable costumes, hula hoop and poi artists working with LED props, light-up stilt walkers and jugglers, aerialists with illuminated apparatus, and the many fire performers who carry an LED version of their show for venues where open flame is not allowed. Illuminated musicians such as electric violinists and saxophonists are listed separately under LED musicians.
Reviews from real clients total 192, averaging 5 out of 5. Fees start at $110 for a single roaming performer and most bookings sit around $290, with the size of the act and the length of the show setting the level.
LED performance is a lighting format applied to an existing discipline rather than a discipline in itself. The acts on this page are dancers, flow artists, fire performers, stilt walkers, jugglers and circus entertainers who perform in programmable costumes or with light-up props, plus a small number of specialists such as LED robots and mirror-suit dancers built for product launches. Glow acts and light-up acts are the same thing under other names.
Glow dancers and LED dance shows are the choreographed end: a troupe in pixel-mapped suits performing a set routine, usually five to fifteen minutes, with colours programmed to a brand or a theme. Flow artists spin LED hoops, poi, staffs and fans in the same patterns they use with fire, and belly dancers add illuminated Isis wings and veils to a conventional set. Roaming light-up characters and stilt walkers cover drinks receptions and festival crowds without a stage. For illuminated instruments, see LED musicians, who are booked in the same way but sit with the musical acts.
Darkness is the requirement. Evening receptions, gala dinners, product launches, club nights and outdoor festivals after dusk are the natural homes; a daytime garden party or a brightly lit conference hall wastes the effect. Most acts run on batteries and need nowhere to plug in, but ask how long a costume lasts on one charge, because it decides whether you get one long show or two short appearances. Indoor venues that ban open flame are the reason many fire performers keep an LED set, and a fire-outside, LED-inside pairing is a common booking for a single evening.
Fees run from $110 to $500+, with most bookings around $290. A single roaming performer with LED props sits at the lower end; a choreographed troupe with custom programming, several costume changes and a technician sits at the top. Set length, travel and whether the act pairs LED with fire or aerial work account for the rest.
