What do showgirls do at an event?

Showgirls are professional dancers in the classic revue look: tall feathered headdresses, fans, sequins and heels. They can greet guests at the door, pose for photos, or perform a short choreographed routine on stage or the dance floor.

The look works for Gatsby and Parisian nights, carnival and festival themes, and any event that wants instant glamour. Some costumes are designed to work on stilts, so showgirls can tower over a busy room too.

Where it works best

Festivals and fun days
Colourful walkabout and short sets.
Awards nights
A showpiece opening before the first award.
Launches
A head-turning moment for a reveal.
Christmas parties
Sparkle and feathers for the big night.
Gatsby and Parisian themes
Revue costumes that match the era.
Meet and greet
A glamorous welcome as guests arrive.

Tips from our team

1
Pair walkabout with a set
Showgirls greeting guests, then a short routine later, gives you two moments for one booking.
2
Agree the costume level
Costumes range from classic and elegant to full revue sparkle. We match them to your audience.
3
Check the headdress height
Full headdresses add real height. Low doorways and ceilings are worth flagging early.
