About
SJ Crew is a dance act for hire in Melbourne, VIC.
The SJ Crew dance out of Studio J, Melbourne's biggest Bollywood dance studio, and they bring the colour and the costumes with them. Bookings start at three dancers. Performances run 5 to 15 minutes and can be split into shorter shows with costume changes between, or you can add a workshop and get guests up dancing for 25 to 30 minutes, complete with dupattas and bindis for smaller groups. Roving and meet-and-greet sets are flexible in length. Beyond Bollywood they cover Bhangra, South Indian and semi-classical styles, and they perform for Eid, Holi and Diwali events with care taken to keep it culturally right. They need a private area for changing and warming up, and a sound system for the backing track, though they can supply one. Fully insured for public liability, products liability and professional indemnity, with WorkCover and a working with children check.
Watch
The show
Colour, costumes and a routine built for your particular event. The SJ Crew handle private parties, corporate nights, celebrations and community events, and music and dance requests get worked in around the cultural background and theme you're planning. Bollywood is the home style, with Bhangra, South Indian and semi classical all available. They perform for Eid, Holi, Diwali and other South Asian festivals, and getting those right culturally matters to them more than getting them flashy.
On the day
A private area where the dancers can change costume, leave their belongings safely and warm up before going on. Bookings start at three dancers. You'll need a sound system for the backing track, and if your venue doesn't have one they can bring their own, though that costs extra so it's worth checking first.
Performance options
Three formats, and they mix. Performance only runs 5 to 15 minutes, and it can be split into shorter shows with costume changes between them, say three five minute spots across the night. Performance plus workshop runs 25 to 30 minutes and gets your guests up dancing, with dupattas and bindis handed out at smaller events. Meet and greet, roving and photos is flexible in length, anything from ten minutes to the whole evening, and traditional dhol drummers can open it. Costume colour schemes and props can be requested. Minimum three dancers, and any of it can be reshaped for your event.
