Elizabeth Johnston17 Nov 2018
Absolutely fantastic fun. Soraya was very entertaining and friendly as well as being a wonderful dancer. I loved the fact that she got the party going, involving everyone and teaching us belly dance moves. It was brilliant to see all the men on the floor trying to copy her moves. Everyone totally enjoyed it even my 83 year old father. My grandson wanted to know why she forgot her clothes and asked if she could come back again. Most of all the Egyptian birthday boy was totally thrilled with the music and dancing. I would highly recommend Soraya for any event.

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.

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.
  • Small troupe (3–4): £400–£500 – formation changes, prop work and a longer set list.
  • Large production (5+ plus live drummers or fire props): £500 and above – a festival-grade spectacle that stops traffic.

What affects the fee

Seasonal demand, dancer headcount, bespoke choreography, rehearsal hours, travel outside the M60 and extras such as live tablas, silk veils or LED wings all nudge the total.

Why book Manchester dancers on Poptop

  • Genuine performers that click with your crowd – every troupe is hand-picked for stage presence and friendliness, so they chat with guests between sets instead of hiding in the green room.
  • Instant all-inclusive pricing – see the cost of a belly dance solo, Bollywood duo or full burlesque revue in seconds, no back-and-forth emails.
  • Bespoke moves and looks – acts happily tailor choreography, soundtrack and costume colours to match your theme, from varsity reds to festival neon.
  • Stress-free planning – clear progress updates drop into your inbox, letting you relax while rehearsals, risk assessments and set-up times are handled behind the scenes.
  • Effortless discovery – type your date, headcount and postcode, and Poptop filters dozens of Manchester dance acts down to the perfect fit.
  • One digital roof – book dancers, lighting, DJs and even fire performers in the same checkout, saving time and invoice headaches.
  • Unforgettable feeds – unusual routines, LED veils and surprise flash mobs give your event the kind of video clips that light up Insta and TikTok.
  • Safe, covered booking – every dancer is fully insured and vetted, and Poptop’s money-back guarantee protects your budget if anything goes sideways.

Quick booking tips

  • Measure the floor and the ceiling height before you fall in love with a belly dance sword balance.
  • Ask for recent video clips rather than photos.
  • Two ten-minute sets often land better than one half-hour marathon.
  • Provide a private corner or green room for costume changes.
