FAQ about hiring a Dance Band

What is a dance band?

expand

A dance band is a group of musicians who play music that is intended for getting guests out on the dance floor. The band usually plays a variety of musical styles, such as rock, pop, R&B, soul, funk, jazz, swing, Latin, or country.

How much does it cost to hire a dance band?

expand

On average, a professional dance band costs $1000-$2500. The exact price will vary depending on the length of the performance, the size of the band, and their overall experience. Dance bands with a full backline and multiple singers will charge more so each band member gets an adequate cut.

What occasions are suitable for hiring a dance band?

expand

A dance band is a great entertainment option for all types of events. These talented musicians can turn your anniversary, birthday party, or bar/bat mitzvah into a upbeat dance party. And of course, a dance band is a must for events where dancing is a focus like wedding receptions and proms.

You can also hire a dance band to elevate the energy at professional gatherings like corporate events, fundraisers, and galas. Invite your guests to let loose and get their groove on!

How do I find a good dance band?

expand

The key to finding a top dance band is research and reviews! Ask for referrals from friends and colleagues, look through online profiles to see video samples, attend live performances, and read feedback from other clients who have hired them or attended events where they performed.

How far in advance should I book a dance band?

expand

It’s best to book a dance band as soon as possible, especially for popular dates such as holidays or weekends. Start your research right away and begin requesting quotes as soon as you’ve nailed down an event date. Ideally, you should book a dance band at least six months, or even a year, in advance.

Can I request specific songs or genres for the dance band to play?

expand

While some dance bands will specialize in a specific genre, many are pretty versatile with a vast repertoire of song options. If you have any special songs you want the dance band to play, you should discuss it with the band in advance to ensure they can accommodate your requests and prepare accordingly.

Will the dance band provide their own equipment and sound system?

expand

Most dance bands provide their own equipment and sound system, but it’s important to confirm this with the band in advance to avoid any misunderstandings or additional fees. You can also consult with your venue to see what they might already have on hand and communicate that with your band.

What is the typical length of a dance band performance?

expand

A typical dance band performance is usually between two and four hours, with breaks every 30-45 minutes. However, the length of the performance can often be customized to fit your event’s schedule and needs.
