We come dressed in character & our party music is themed for the character you would like to have perform at the party. Please do not supply scripts or dance moves that you would like us to recite or perform. We are unable to do so due to the lack of visual capabilities while in costume & lack of full movement while in costume. We appreciate your understanding.

Song selections include the Macarena, Hands Up, YMCA, Electric Slide, Chicken Dance, The Twist, Cotton Eye Joe, Hokey Pokey, Shout, Cha Cha Slide and more! We will help you pick the best songs for the ages you anticipate.
A: For younger children: Ages 1-5, we recommend our children's Sing-A-Long. Example; Bingo, Hokey Pokey, Chicken Dance, John Jacob etc..
