FAQ about hiring a Dancer
How much does it cost to hire a dancer?
On average, professional dancers charge $200-$350. This price will vary depending on your location, the performance length, the type of dance, and the dancer’s skill level. Many dance styles work best in pairs or groups, which will cost a bit more than a solo dancer.
How long do dancers usually perform?
The length of a dance performance often depends on the specific needs of your event. If you just want your dancers to perform 1-3 songs for your guests, then you only need to book them for about 15-30 minutes. If you would like to hire a dancer to mingle in your crowd, do multiple performances throughout the event, or even lead any group dances, then you’ll want to hire the dancer for the entirety of your event.
What kind of dancers can I hire?
There are a lot of different dance styles and performers you can hire through GigSalad.
- Belly dancers are booked most often for all types of events, from birthdays to bridal showers to weddings.
- Fire dancers and hula dancers would be great for a Hawaiian luau or beach party.
- Break dancers and hip-hop dancers are great for fairs, festivals, and street performances.
- Ballroom dancers can put on a show at your corporate event or inspire guests to get on the dance floor at your wedding reception or prom. There are a variety of ballroom-style dancers to choose from, including tango, salsa, samba, and swing.
Can I hire a dancer to teach a routine?
Many dancers are willing and able to teach simple routines when asked. If you’re looking for something more involved or want specialized instruction, you’d be better served to hire a dancer with specific experience in choreography and dance instruction.
Should I tip the dancers?
As with any performer, tipping is always highly recommended for a job well done. How to handle tips will depend on the type of dance show. In most cases, as the event planner, you’ll provide a 15-20% tip directly to the dancers after the event is complete.
Some dance acts, like hip-hop dancers who perform tricks or belly dance performances, may collect tips directly or through a tip jar. Discuss these preferences with your dancer in advance of the event.
