Performance Options and Rates
Blue Moon Dance Company can provide ensemble or soloist performances based on the specifics of your particular event or your personal preference. From full production events to at-home parties, Blue Moon will tailor a performance plan for you. Props available for shows include sword, basket, pot, zils (finger cymbals), skirt and/or cane. Our performances are always family-friendly, and we strive to make them events that will leave you with a smile on your face and in your heart! (Please note that Blue Moon does not perform for all-male audiences or one-on-one events.)
Most performances are comprised of staged choreographic and improvisational performance pieces, and can incorporate group dancing and/or mini-lessons if you desire. Blue Moon is unique in the Triangle in that we are comprised of both dancers and musicians so that live music is an option available to you as well.
