Dancers and event entertainers sometimes use props, such as handheld objects or torches, or may have another specific need, dependent on the venue setup, the nature of their performance, or the length of your event. If the dancers happen to need something for their performance that you can arrange for ahead of time, it is important to make these accommodations, since the dancer knows best what setting he or she performs best in.
Individual dancers and dance companies specialize in combining their body, some type of music or rhythm, and their environment to captivate audiences and create or change the mood at an event. While these troupes might specialize in a particular type of performance, many professional dance organizations are skilled in a wide variety of performance types and will be willing to work with you to tailor their performance specifically to your event.
While dancers and their managing staff will often do their best to meet your special requests, the one thing they require and will not be able to compromise on is ample space at the event venue. No matter what type of dance is being performed or how many dancers are performing, the beauty and mystery of a dance performance is executed by moving around a space. If you don’t have a very big amount of space for entertainment at your event venue, a dance performance might not be your best option.
Other things that dancers or dance troupes typically require are a clean, clear, and flat performance surface, lighting and sound equipment, and a private, secure place to change and relax both before and after the performance.
General and specific needs for dancers vary from group to group, and possibly even from one performance to the next. You should be in close contact with the event entertainment you have booked for your event months or weeks before the event to get a clear understanding of what they expect from the space and what special requests or need they may have. Often, dancers or their managing staff may ask to do a walkthrough of the space prior to your event to be sure that everything will work well for the dancers and their performance in your venue.
Dancers may ask that you remove certain furniture or situate the furniture in a room in a certain manner so that the audience can have the best possible experience during the performance. Additionally, while many dance troupes will bring their own props, if their performance has an interactive component, they may ask that your provide each audience member with a small prop like a light or noise maker, to further elevate the audience experience.
Finally, dancers who will be performing more than one act or have a very physically demanding performance planned may ask that you provide them with refreshments, snacks, linens, or small toiletry items that will help them recover from the performance. Even if the dancers don’t request drinks and light food options, it is always polite to offer these amenities to the performers either before or after their act.
