Dancing is a very captivating performance art, but the amount of time the audience is exposed to the performance plays a role in how much they will enjoy it. If the performance is too short, the audience will be left unsatisfied. If the performance drags on too long, the audience will grow bored. Therefore, you must find a sweet spot, to make sure that your guests leave your event feeling entertained and impressed with the performance.
There is no one answer to how long an in-event performance should be. You have to consider a number of different factors in coming to a decision; but, in general, you don’t want a performance that is shorter than tow minutes or that lasts longer than 10, unless the performance is the central reason for hosting the event.
Consider the nature and scale of your event. You should look at how long your event will last, how many guests will be attending your event, and what the reason is for hosting the event. If you are hosting event entertainment that will last many hours or one that will be demanding on guests mentally or physically, a longer performance can be a nice break from the other scheduled activities. At an event that will be only an hour or two in length, a longer lasting performance may seem to take away from the purpose of the event.
If you are worried about losing the audience’s attention with a long performance, but want to keep them well entertained throughout a daylong or several hours long event, consider planning a few different short performances. This way you can both give your guests a break from the other event entertainment activities and keep them entertained throughout.
Think about your guests and why they are coming to your event. Even though guests from many different professions, walks of life, and social circles will find a dance performance captivating and special, unless they are heavily involved with the arts or are at the event to celebrate a dancer or dance troupe, a very long performance is probably not their main reason for attending your event. Try to arrange for a performance that is an appropriate length and will keep everyone interested.
You may not have a precise idea about how long the performance at your event should last, even when looking closely at the other details you have planned. It is a great idea to talk with the dancers and the talent agency you have worked with to get help in making this decision. Talk with these professionals about the length, timeline, and purpose of your event, and ask them what they think would work best.
While you may need to sway the agent’s opinion or come to a compromise with them in some cases, they have plenty of experience sending dancers to events of all shapes and sizes, and are usually your best resource in making decisions about the performance itself.
