Every group has unique preferences, inside jokes, and specific visions for their entertainment experience. Custom routine requests allow you to personalize performances beyond standard shows, creating moments that feel designed exclusively for your celebration and the people you're honoring.
Standard performances follow proven formats—tried-and-true choreography, popular music choices, and classic costume themes. Custom routines go further by incorporating specific elements you request. This might include particular songs, choreographed moments tied to inside jokes, costume details that reference shared memories, or interaction styles tailored to the guest of honor's personality.
Custom routines transform entertainment from "great show" to "that was literally perfect for us." The difference lies in personal touches that show thought and planning went into every detail.
Song-Specific Performances - Instead of our standard music selections, you choose exact songs that hold meaning for your group. Maybe it's the song that always gets the bride dancing, the birthday person's karaoke go-to, or a track tied to a memorable night out together. Performers choreograph routines specifically to your chosen music.
Character-Inspired Performances - While we avoid direct character impersonation for copyright reasons, performers can embody the spirit of certain archetypes. Love a specific movie character, celebrity type, or fictional personality? We'll capture that essence in costume and performance style.
Inside Joke Integration - Every friend group has running jokes that only they understand. Custom routines can reference these moments through props, music choices, or choreographed bits. When the performer does something that triggers that inside joke, the resulting laughter and surprise is priceless.
Story-Based Performances - Rather than a straightforward dance routine, some groups want narrative entertainment. The performer might "arrive" in character with a backstory that ties to the event—a "telegram delivery" for the birthday person, a "security check" for the bachelorette, or a "surprise inspection" scenario.
Couple or Group References - For bachelorette parties, incorporating details about the couple's relationship creates personalized moments. How they met, shared hobbies, or relationship milestones can inspire custom choreography or interaction.
Prop Integration - Special props beyond standard costume elements add unique flair. Whether it's specific items that hold meaning for your group or creative additions that enhance the performance, custom prop requests make shows memorable.
During the booking process, share your custom ideas openly. Explain the context behind requests so performers understand what you're trying to achieve. The more detail you provide about inside jokes, personality traits, or special meanings, the better we can deliver exactly what you envision.
Some questions to consider when planning custom requests:
What songs are absolutely essential to include?
Are there personality traits or preferences of the guest of honor we should know?
Do you have inside jokes that could translate into performance moments?
Is there a specific "entrance" or opening you're imagining?
Are there particular interaction styles the guest of honor would prefer?
Do you want the performance to feel more playful, sophisticated, high-energy, or sensual?
Most custom requests are achievable with advance planning, but some have limitations. We maintain professional standards and appropriate boundaries, so requests must align with what performers are comfortable executing. Copyright restrictions prevent direct character impersonations or exact replication of copyrighted choreography.
Extremely complex custom choreography requires additional preparation time, so these requests need more advance notice—typically 4-6 weeks before your event. Simple customizations like specific songs or costume adjustments are usually easy to accommodate with standard booking timelines.
We'll discuss feasibility during booking and offer alternatives if certain requests aren't possible. The goal is creating something special that works within professional parameters.
Request custom elements as early as possible in the booking process. Last-minute custom requests are difficult to execute well because performers need time to source costumes, practice choreography, and prepare music. Standard booking timelines (3-6 weeks) work for simple customizations, but elaborate custom routines benefit from 6-8 weeks of lead time.
If your event date is approaching quickly, we can still accommodate some personalization—just understand that options may be more limited than with extended planning time.
Custom routines work best as collaboration between you and our team. You provide the vision, context, and personal details. We translate those ideas into executable performance elements that deliver the impact you're hoping for. This back-and-forth ensures the final routine matches your expectations while remaining professional and entertaining.
Some groups provide detailed instructions, while others offer general direction and trust performers to fill in creative details. Both approaches work—it depends on how specific your vision is and how much creative freedom you want to allow.
Most custom routine requests are included in standard package pricing when they involve reasonable personalization like song choices, basic costume adjustments, or simple choreographic preferences. More elaborate custom work requiring extensive choreography development, special costume sourcing, or significant additional preparation time may involve supplemental fees.
We'll discuss any potential additional costs during booking so there are no surprises. Many custom requests fall within normal package parameters and cost nothing extra.
The best custom routines stem from knowing your audience. Think about what will make the guest of honor laugh, what will surprise the group, and what details will make everyone say "this was so perfectly us." Those personal touches transform good entertainment into legendary entertainment.
