Performing Groups


The groups listed below are available for hire. Some groups have repertoires limited to specific countries or regions while others perform a broad spectrum of dance from many countries. The groups listed below are all based in Northern California.

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.
