Wow! These dancers were fabulous! We and the guests were absolutely stunned. We had them for our wedding and they did two sets and a masterclass. Not only were they great dancers but they provided really engaging entertainment. The music got everyone into the spirit and we had lots of people doing the masterclass! We had a Bollywood theme and oh my they were so good! Fabulous, amazing, thank you so much R&R, Louise!

Why hire dancers in Manchester
Manchester’s nightlife pulses with live music, late-night warehouses and festival fever. Adding a professional dance act is the quickest way to bottle that energy and splash it across your event. Whether you are hosting a sweaty student rave on Oxford Road or a sophisticated awards dinner near Spinningfields, a well-timed dance performance keeps the crowd wide-eyed and the cameras rolling.
Popular dance styles in the city
- Belly dance – mesmerising isolations, shimmering costumes and plenty of audience participation.
- Bollywood – feel-good choreo, rainbow saris and chart-topping film hits.
- Burlesque – vintage glamour, cheeky props and feather-fan flourishes.
When dancers steal the show
- Club nights – the DJ kills the lights, a Bollywood quartet storms the stage for a tight four-minute blast of colour and choreography, confetti pops on their final pose, and the dance floor surges for another round instead of heading for the taxis.
- Student events – during freshers’ week a bar staff flash-mob belly-dance routine hijacks the SU queue, ends with a shimmy-off featuring the rugby captain, and leaves the crowd scrambling to post clips before the next act.
- Festivals – LED-wing belly dancers drift through Parklife’s chill-out meadow by day, then a roaming burlesque trio performs a branded mini-set on the VIP terrace, drawing phones and punters where the organisers want the buzz.
Perfect venues for dance acts
Warehouse venues
Vast open floorplates, exposed brick and towering rafters combine with industrial lighting rigs, haze machines and sub-heavy sound systems to give Bollywood troupes room for sweeping chorus lines and burlesque performers the atmosphere of a neon catwalk.
University halls
Handy built-in stages, tiered sight-lines and on-site AV booths make production slick, while wallet-friendly bar prices and a ready-made student audience mean your belly dance workshop draws an instant, enthusiastic crowd.
Outdoor festival tents
High canvas canopies, raised decking and 360-degree sight-lines let roaming dancers weave through the crowd, drawing people in from every angle, and the flexible layout means troupes can scale up with LED props, live drummers or confetti cannons without worrying about low ceilings or narrow fire exits.
Typical price bands
- Solo dancer: £200–£300 – ideal for short spotlight routines or intimate restaurant shows.
- Duo: £300–£400 – synchronised moves, partner lifts and double the costume glitz.
