We want to share the joyous spontaneity of our dance style in venues that both support and benefit from our offering. We would love to dance at your openings, coffee houses, festivals, parades, public venues that support performance artists, and private celebrations. Please contact us for more information or to suggest a groovy opportunity where you'd like to see us!

Also available: a beautiful handcrafted medieval 20' diameter pavilion we set up for our own changing space and Green Room for outdoor events.

Please note: temperature and weather extremes will affect whether we can perform or not. We reserve the right to cancel if the weather is not conducive for our equipment, costumes and/or our well-being. We also reserve the right to cancel f the venue is not as described by you and our safety is of concern.

Please eMail us for fees. Thank you for considering us!
