Our goal is to be a one-stop-shop for event clients. Dancers of all backgrounds are welcome. :
How we work: Clients reach out to Nocturna for entertainment. We then reach out to dancers/performers for their availability and interest regarding relevant shows as opportunities come up. Once a client confirms, dancers are confirmed as well and rehearsals are scheduled so show preparation can begin. For most shows, we send videos for dancers to learn from, then set it and clean it in rehearsal. We also usually provide the costuming.
