Brazilian and Swing Dancers for San Francisco Bay Area parties

An exciting way to "jazz-up" parties is through professional dancers. Dancers can be used to kick-off a party, getting partygoers up and on the dance floor. Dancers are also used as a floor show, especially for Latin and Brazilian themes. Dance troupes add that colorful touch, with costuming from the Swing era, and for Carnavale themes.

Entertainers as a Meet and Greet, and leading a Procession

Performers can creatively be used to "Meet and Greet," and as a way to lead groups from one location to another.

Here are examples: A Pipe and drum trio at Stanford University (Palo Alto) and heralding trumpets for a V.I.P. party at The Palace Hotel (San Francisco).

Speakeasy theme entertainment at Northern California Country Club

One of the best ways to plan a party is around a theme. As an active member of Meeting Planners International, we recommend theme parties.

The most popular themes are Las Vegas nights, Speakeasy/Roaring 20's, Disco and Saturday Night Fever, A Night at the Sands, with Frank, Dean, and Sammy; and, Rock and Roll through the decades.

An example: When a company had their vendor food show at the Crow Canyon CountryClub (Danville), their theme was Speakeasy/Roaring 20's. A gangster and his gun mole greeted the guests, and a speakeasy singer specializing in songs from the 20's through the 40's, and her piano player, provide the music.

Harpists in the San Francisco Bay Area

Harpists can be used for events, from model home openings, wedding receptions, Irish themes, Christmas themes, and cocktail receptions.

Harps come in different sizes and shapes, from the elegant opera harp to the smaller celtic harp. They play all styles of music, depending on the event and the ambiance needed at the event.

There are even Mariachi, that use harpists, in addition to different size guitars, and trumpets.

Make plans for Cinco De Mayo

Cinco de Mayo will be here on May the 5th. This is the biggest day for Mariachi ensembles for country clubs, private parties, and restaurants. Make plans now, before the better groups are booked.

Spring and Summer is the time for children's entertainment

Spring and Summer is the time for children's entertainment for festivals, street faires, and picnics. For the younger crowd, puppet shows, storytellers, and musical groups are popular. For festivals, Stilt Walkers, juggling acts, and magicians, are also popular.

There are several novelty acts, including a hula hooper who twirls 22 hula hoops, and rollerblades. Facepainters and balloon artists are also the most requested.
