January 9, 2023Best 1920's NYE Experience
Svetlana was amazing to work with and she curated a stellar group of musicians to perform at our 1920's inspired NYE Winter Ball in Brooklyn this year. The residents loved the music which transported them instantly to the Great Gatsby era!
Thank you Svetlana for all your efforts in making our NYE so memorable this year.

December 27, 2024Corporate Holiday Party
Svetlana and her band were absolutely fantastic and brought so much energy and style to our holiday corporate party. Their performance set the perfect tone and created a lively, fun atmosphere that everyone enjoyed. The dancers were amazing and added an extra layer of excitement, making the evening even more special. The timing of the breaks and song choices worked perfectly, giving us the chance to mingle, make speeches, and enjoy the night to its fullest. It was a wonderful way to wrap up the year and celebrate together. We truly had a great time and appreciated the amazing vibe they brought to the event! I look forward to hiring them for more corporate parties.

December 11, 2024Gatsby Jazz Dancers for Holiday Party - They were Perfect!
We hired Svetlana's team for our company’s Gatsby-themed holiday party, and they absolutely made the event unforgettable! From the moment they arrived, they brought the energy, style, and flair of the Roaring 20s to life. Their dance routine was stunning—slick, synchronized, and full of charisma—really capturing the spirit of the Jazz Age.
Not only did they perform an impressive routine, but they also engaged with our guests by teaching them the Charleston and other classic 1920s dances. It was so much fun watching everyone get into the swing of things, with the dancers leading the way in a way that was both entertaining and easy to follow. Their enthusiasm was infectious, and even those who had never danced before were having a blast!
The dancers truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt included and was having a great time. The whole atmosphere was electric, and it really brought the Gatsby theme to life in a way we couldn’t have imagined. If you're looking to add some flair and fun to your event, I highly recommend this talented group—they’ll elevate any party with their skill, energy, and passion for dance!
