Specialty Dance Acts
Surprise your guests with a real show! We work with the best dance troops and tap dancers on the West Coast.

Swing Dancers
For exciting and acrobatic swing, Lindy Hop and jitterbug routines,
we love working with the Swing Cats Rhythm Revue.

This enthusiastic and talent group of youngsters will amaze you with their poise and rhythmic abandon.

Ballroom Dancers
For the more intimate event, we highly recommend the dance team of Cynthia Glinka and A.C. Griffing who have charmed the nation with their gorgeous recreations of the dance routines of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

Chorus Girls
When a Busby Berkeley style production number is required, go no further than Laurie Gordon's Deco Bells. These high-kicking cuties regularly display their amazing skills whenever the RSJO performs at major Art Deco Society events, but they love to perform at private parties as well.

Special Costume Characters
We've got flappers, gangsters, cowboys, millionaires, and movie stars!

Give your event an added excitement by peppering the crowd with professional costumed characters. We can supply you with any number of perfectly dressed impersonators of classic Hollywood stars, such as Mae West, Carmen Miranda, Cary Grant, and Rudolph Valentino.

We can also supply beautifully dressed and immaculately coifed dancers wearing authentic clothes from the ragtime era, the roaring twenties, the sleek and elegant thirties, to the jitterbugging forties.
