Shows and performances

By booking us to dance at your event you’re supporting this great -both athletic and artistic- hobby for our students of all ages. The earnings from events are used to support our students participation into competitions (e.g. travel expenses). Competing and seeing other dances and dancers around Finland is a great learning opportunity for our students and it’s something fun for the whole group to look forward to. We thank you for supporting them in this!

Our dancers are always accompanied by a teacher in events, and you’ll have them as a contact person.

What kind of shows do we offer?

Thanks to the variety of dance genres we teach at Lappeenranta Dance Institute, we also have a variety of visually versatile performances to offer. Our students are able to perform classical ballet, jazzdance, contemporary dance, street dance, breakdance and showjazz.

The usual length of a single choreography varies between 2-4 minutes. By combining different groups, you’re able to put on a longer show.

Is your event location suitable for a dance routine?

The size of the dance floor affects both the dancers, and the audience. Usually a 5 meter by 5 meter area (25 m²) is only good enough for a solo, perhaps a duet, but it cannot fit a big group number. It would be optimal to have a separate dance floor away from the dining area or other party activity. Make sure to ask, we can brainstorm together!

Pricing:

The final price of a performance inquiry takes into account the amount of choreographies, and the amount of dancers. Pricing begins at 200 €. 

Performing is an essential part of the basic education of the art of dance. All of our students are given opportunities to perform, at least once a year. Performing gives the student valuable experiences, builds confidence and develops the students creativity.

By having these things thought out beforehand, you’re well on your way to book a show:

  • What is the location like, where would we dance?
  • Does your event space have dressing rooms?
  • What is the overall schedule of your event; what time would we perform?
  • Which dance style, or duration of the choreography are you looking for?

We think about each event and booking individually, as we work closely with our teachers and students to fit these into everyone’s calendars. We’re happy to see things falling into place, and for us to be able to answer “yes” so many times. Please, be sure to contact us about your event! Email our producer Krista Holappa: krista.holappa@lprto.fi.

The questions above help you to get a quick reply from us.

We’re happy to be involved, and looking forward to create a unique show for your event!
