7-12 Parties:
Illuminate Arts entertainers are all performing arts industry professionals of stage and television and have extensive experience working with children. Your musical theatre or dance party will be choreographed and directed by a true professional and will give your party guests a real insight into the performing arts world.
4-7 parties:
Themed parties are packed with adventure, and aimed to make every child feel like they’ve been transported into the pages of a story book. Your leader will be energetic but also attentive and encouraging to the not so confident ones among the group, allowing everyone to be involved and giving all of your party guests the best experience.
Which party should I choose?
All of our party themes are extremely popular. Speaking to the party child to get their input is a really great way to give them exactly what they’d like and this way you can both get excited in the run up to the big event.
What music do you play?
We play a mixture of music including lyric free background tracks that will set a magical tone for your themed adventure as well as mainstream classics to really get your party guests dancing.
All of our music is family friendly, great care is taken to ensure there is nothing explicit for little listeners.
