Themed dancers are professional dancers in costume to match your event: Charleston for Gatsby, showgirls for cabaret, sea-themed troupes for under-the-sea and festive dancers for Christmas.

Frequently asked questions

Which venues near Sunderland can host a large event?

On our list, Rainton Meadows Arena (up to 1500 guests) and Newcastle Marriott Hotel MetroCentre (up to 400 guests) can take 400 or more guests. Tell us your venue and numbers and we will plan themed dancers around the space.

Do venues around Sunderland have rules for performers?

Many hotels and country houses have rules on ceiling rigging, fire, access times and changing space. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check everything before we confirm.

How much do themed dancers cost in Sunderland?

There is no fixed price. Every event is different. Prices depend on the acts, the number of performers, timings, travel and location, so we quote each booking individually. Travel is part of the quote, and Sunderland is 10 miles south-east of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send us your date and venue for free, no-obligation options.

Which postcodes around Sunderland do you cover?

All of DH4, DH5, SR1, SR2, SR3, SR4, SR5 and SR7, including Houghton-le-Spring, Penshaw, Shiney Row, Fence Houses, Newbottle and Seaham, plus the rest of Tyne and Wear and nearby South Shields, Gateshead, Peterlee and Durham.

Can the dancers teach our guests?

Yes. A short dance lesson, like the Charleston at a Gatsby night, is one of the most popular options.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.

Can the performers match our theme or brand colours?

Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.

Do you work with our venue and event team?

Yes. We agree access, changing space, timings and any venue rules before the day, and work to your run of show.
