This is the question most people want to ask and do not: what exactly happens during the show, what the price includes, and where the line runs. We prefer answering it in writing, publicly, before anyone picks up a phone — because a good evening starts with precise expectations, and every ambiguity ends in an awkward moment in your living room. This post answers everything openly: what you get, what you do not, what you can ask for and what there is no point asking for.
What the price includes — the full list
When you close an evening with us, the agreed price covers all of the following with no extras: a full hour of performance in the format you chose; travel and arrival to any of our eighteen cities, with no travel fees and no distance supplement; costumes and props for the character you chose, including changes within the show; playlist adaptation to your evening and to any songs you requested; a speaker if your sound is weak; a coordinator on the phone from the moment we close until the evening ends; and backup — if something falls through on our side you receive an alternative in the same style, and you hear it from us in advance. It is all set out on the price list too.
What is not included — and this line does not move
Let us be clear, because it saves everyone time: the show is dance and stage theatre, and nothing beyond that. There are no intimate services, no brokering of anything else, and no such thing as "a special extra for money". This is not legal wording for decoration — it is the working condition thanks to which good artists choose us and stay for years, and why they arrive at your evening in the mood of a performer rather than someone counting minutes. Anyone selling you otherwise is selling something else entirely. The full boundaries are also written on the about page.
Contact: what yes and what no
Our genre includes interaction — this is not a performance behind a rope. Some characters invite the guest of honour to a chair in the centre, some pieces have the dancer's hand leading a movement, and some moments exist precisely to make him laugh and blush a little. The rule is simple and identical across the team: the dancer leads, and she also decides when it ends. The crowd does not touch on its own initiative; anyone who tries gets a gentle reminder, and if it repeats the evening stops. In practice this almost never happens, because when the rules are clear in advance everyone enjoys themselves more.
Filming: the rule that prevents arguments
Film yourselves and your crew as much as you like — it is your evening. The dancer is not filmed, not for a story and not "just as a keepsake", unless she has explicitly agreed for that specific moment. The reason is simple: the women who work with us have other lives by day, and a clip online is exactly what makes this profession impossible for them. Most dancers happily agree to a group photo at the end, in ordinary clothes — ask and you will get one. More on this in the FAQ.
What you can ask for — free of charge
Far more than people think. A specific character from the costume wardrobe — the officer, the waitress, the cabaret bunny; the list is on the costume show page. A personal song for the guest of honour, woven into the right place in the set. A short text the crew wants heard — a toast, an inside joke, a "performance review". Precise timing: an entrance exactly as the cake comes out. Adaptation for a mixed crowd — a version that works with parents in the room. And language: some dancers run an entire show in English or Russian. None of these cost anything; they only need asking for in advance.
What there is no point asking for
Three requests that recur, with our fixed answers. "How much without limits" — there is no such price, and whoever offers you one is not offering a show. "Send more photos privately" — every photo that exists is in the catalogue, and they are real and current. "Give us a discount for an hour and a half" — our pricing follows the format rather than haggling, and that is exactly what lets us keep one price for everyone, at every hour and in every city.
What happens when something goes wrong
Rare, but it happens, so there is a procedure. If we are running late — you hear about it in a message before you start wondering, with an updated arrival time. If a dancer falls through at the last moment — you get an alternative from the same style world with real photographs, and you approve before she leaves; no "surprises" at the door. If the space turns out unsuitable — the dancer arranges what she can in five minutes, and if it truly cannot work we offer an adapted format rather than cancelling. And if the evening was not right — write to us directly; the coordinator who ran it handles it.
The business logic behind the boundaries
People sometimes think the boundaries are a marketing position. In practice they are a business decision: thanks to them experienced dancers stay with us for years instead of turning over monthly, and that experience is why you get artists who can read a room, rescue an awkward moment and work a difficult crowd. An agency selling "anything goes" replaces its team constantly, and that shows on the night. So yes, this line costs us bookings — and it repays itself in the quality of whoever walks through your door.
How it actually looks — one hour, step by step
The dancer arrives twenty minutes early in completely everyday clothing and changes in a side room. At the agreed hour the door opens and the character enters — usually unannounced, so the surprise works. The first ten minutes build a connection with the room: looks, humour, reading the crowd. Then the main set in the style you chose, with the guest of honour's personal moment in the middle. The finale closes it, the dancer goes to change, and returns in ordinary clothes to say goodbye. Everything ends on time, without tension and without surprises. Format details are on the solo page and the duo page.
Why this transparency pays off for you
Because it removes the least pleasant part of booking: guessing. When you know exactly what you are getting, nobody spends the evening testing boundaries, and the crew is free for the only thing that matters — enjoying itself. It is also why we write this publicly rather than only in chat: anyone looking for something else knows before the first message, and anyone looking for a good stage show knows exactly why they came. If anything remains unclear, write to us and you will get a direct answer with no selling.
Frequently asked
An hour of performance, arrival to any of the eighteen cities with no travel fees, costumes and props, playlist adaptation, a speaker if needed, a coordinator on the phone and backup if something falls through on our side.
There are not, and there is no such thing as "a special extra for money". The show is dance and stage theatre only, and that line does not move.
Interaction exists, but the dancer leads and she decides when it ends. The crowd does not touch on its own initiative.
Yourselves and your crew — as much as you like. The dancer is not filmed unless she explicitly agreed. A group photo at the end in ordinary clothes is usually welcome.
A specific character, a personal song, a short text from the crew, precise timing, a version for a mixed crowd, and a show in English or Russian.
The dancer gives a gentle reminder. If it repeats, the evening stops. In practice this almost never happens when the rules are clear in advance.
So nobody has to guess. Precise expectations are the difference between an evening that flows and an awkward moment, and it pays off for both sides.
