DANCE PERFORMANCE GROUPS
The groups listed below are available for hire. Some groups have repertoires limited to specific countries or regions while others peform a broad spectrum of dance from many countries. The groups listed below are all based in Northern California. For performing groups elsewhere, phantomranch has an extensive list.
In addition, if you are looking for something less expensive, consider contacting a local dance club or class. Many will be willing, at little or no cost, to bring a few dancers, do a demonstration of some dances, and perhaps teach audience members a simple dance or two. This would be ideal for a church bazaar, community fundraiser, arts festival, etc.
