REVIEWS OF THE SHOW;

I choose Dancemasters based on the website and I would urge any other parents reading this to do likewise. I always make a huge effort with my daughter’s birthday parties and booking Dancemasters for her 6th Birthday based on the website was a big risk but I needed have worried, it was the best party yet! The pre-event organisation was excellent and I was confident that Mark and the team would be professional but I was completely blown away by the quality of the party. Even before the first child arrived the venue looked awesome! The kid’s first impressions when they walked in was that this was a serious party! But at the same time Dancemasters had cleverly made the layout completely safe - through intelligent use of the space they made it look incredible whilst also keeping all the technical or hot equipment well out of the children's reach. Having Dancemaster Karley was fantastic, one of the mum's told me that the fee would have been worth it just for Karley! I can't emphasise enough that this is much more than a disco, a purpose was given to every aspect of the party so that even the most difficult kids and ALL the boys got up and danced! The games were fantastic and really well related to the Disco idea. Dancemasters were generous with the prizes which were all excellent quality and coveted by the children, who all walked away with something special. When Karley lifted Charlotte up at the end of the last HSM number at the end of the party I was blubbing! It really was her best ever party and I can't recommend Dancemasters highly enough - there were 34 kids at the party, everyone of them loved it! 3 CRIED when it had to end and all the parents thought it was incredible! My only problem now is how I can top it next year!

"This was the best disco ever" according to my 11 years old son Alex and his friends. It provides an excellent selection of songs, interaction with children is brilliant, lights and laser show is great fun for children and adults at the same time. Highly recommended.

We used Mark for my daughter's 16th and my son's 18th birthday parties. The events were fantastic with all ages commenting on the quality of the evening(s).Mark pitched it all "just right". Many thanks.

............................

Our 5 year old daughter thought it was the best birthday party ever and all her friends and their parents thought it was excellent, even our 10 year loved it and joined in and so did her teenage cousins. The only complaint we had from some children and adults was we should have booked the show for 4 hours not 2hrs!!! Troy was excellent with the children, he had so much energy and they all loved him. The lights, flames and bubble machine and laser effects were excellent better than we expected them to be, We would highly recommend Dancemasters and The people’s choice disco show.Mark and Troy were extremely professional we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again, we're just looking for an excuse to have another party!!

WOW! Fantastic High School Musical party, my 6 year old and her friends loved it! Have never been to a party where the kids were entertained for 2 hours solid, my daughter made to feel the star of the show! Amazing party, worth every penny would highly recommend.

From one of the boy's "whoever didn't come to the party really missed out" All the kids loved the dance master, the laser lights at the end were fantastic, the kids were completely knackered at the end, and all the mum's were very impressed. All round success. Thanks Mark.

From the moment by daughters walked into the hall and saw the High School Musical decorations, it was very much "wow!" from that point on!! Mark was brilliant with the children who ranged in age from 5 to 11 and somehow managed to keep them all moving and having fun for two hours. They loved the prizes given out and 40 kids went home very, very happy. Thank you and Lara (who stepped in at the last moment!).

Well worth the money!!You have to have the dancemaster it helps the kids have more confident to do all the moves...could go on!!just great! thank u very much,

It was a brilliant party! Mark kept to the theme but kept the tone very innocent and sweet. The children danced non stop. The games were great, prizes coveted and dance steps challenging without being difficult. It would be hard to improve the show, but if you were hunting for one area to improve, I would say it would knock everyone's socks off if Mr Troy dressed in character (basketball outfit maybe?). Ada is already asking when she turns 7 and can have another disco party!

My Daughter 'Naia' had a wonderful 5th party !! Even though HSM is targeted towards an older age group , Naia and her friends love it. Mark Colwill tailored the party to a younger audience and everyone had a fabulous time!!! I would recommend Mark and his lovely dancemaster Sharpay over and fabulous people and fantastic with the children.

I was apprehensive as I would normally book something that has been recommended or I have seen myself. I have to say that the party went brilliantly and I was extremely relieved as I have had a dreadful experience with a party in the past and always assume it will happen again! The DJ (Nick) and Dancemaster (Karley) managed the whole party well and the kids absolutely loved it. Ellie was gutted when it was all over, that says it all really...!

We were all extremely pleased with the High School Musical disco for Abigail and Lilly's 6th birthday party. You kept everyone totally engaged for the whole 2 hours and Troy the dance master was excellent with the children. We have had lots of positive feedback from other parents and Abigail and Lilly say it was "the best party they have ever had". We would be happy to recommend and use your service again. Thanks, Becky Hooper & Sharon Roessen  October 2008

Dancemasters disco was absolutely fantastic! My daughter Danielle had her 8th Birthday party and all the kids were entertained. The adults were free to relax and enjoy the party. I would recommend Peoples Choice for a stress free children's party.

Mums and Dad's if you would like a 'Special Party' with great memories then you've found a fabulous entertainer. Mark made my 'Daughters' day extremely special. I have already made enquires into another party for next year.

On Sunday July 8th. For My daughters 9th Birthday we had 23 children. ( Can you imagine having 23 kids and controlling them.! ) Well .. Mark kept all the children entertained -Even those that were less confident to "join in". He manages to interact with the children that 'sit out' and involve them in the fun. Mark after some years of experience obviously knows what the children like and thrive on to enjoy an great party.

We had lots of different games ** in Fact to many to remember' .! from 'Best dancer' to the 'Lambada' to a 'Freeze game' to a 'Speedy game' to a 'Dice Game' to a guessing game..Ball game.. the list is endless..!!! We also had 'DISCO LIGHTS'.. Lasers.. Bubble machines. flashing lights and a Disco Ball.. ** In Fact*When you see the Party in Action ** You wish you'd booked him for longer than 2 hours..** All the Children 'Won' a prize and were 'Excited' with the prize.. Can't say happier than that..!!

Mark/Lee provided just the best wedding party disco! It really made our evening and so many of our guests said what a great time they had. The dance floor was never empty. We made all our arrangements from Australia and right from the start their service was professional, timely and more so friendly; they made us feel like they 'really wanted' to be at our party. Thanks guys!!!

This is the second time I have used peoples choice its worth every penny, they do all the hard work while we stand back and enjoy watching everyone have a good time. Both my children say its the best party they have ever had. and for me the easiest.

Mark & his partner Mr Troy were absolutely brilliant! They captured the childrens attention within 2 minutes and maintained it until the party ended. The two guys are truly professional at what they do. I can't thank them enough for giving Melody & her friends & family such a fantastic and memorable evening.

Was very impressed with the Dancemasters Disco. They provided 2 back to back discos for 7 year olds and then 11 year olds. Kept them constantly entertained - I did not have to do a thing! The children all thoroughly enjoyed it. Mark and Mr Troy must have been exhausted but they didn't show it. Fantastic. Would definitely use again and can thoroughly recommend. An extremely high quality service.

2 discos were provided for 30 7 year olds and 30 11 year olds. Both groups had great fun and thoroughly enjoyed the discos and the games/quizzes. The children were entertained completely for the whole time. I would highly recommend Dancemasters to anyone - and not just for children's discos.

You did a great job, everyone thought it went well, and whilst our playlist may have been slightly rigid you managed to run it smoothly with mixing other things in which complemented it superbly.

This was for a 7 year old girl's birthday disco party: the whole experience was very good. Customer service from booking to delivery of the service was excellent, which is impressive, as they were provided by 3 different people (the booker and then the 2 DJs)! It was a very straightforward process, and more to the point, the birthday girl and guests really enjoyed the party!

Dancemasters provided a disco for my daughter's 11th birthday party. We ended up with about 30 children - an equal mix of boys and girls most of whom were 10 or 11. The DJs, Adam and Troy, were fantastic. They knew exactly what music the kids would like and kept them active with games and dancing for two whole hours. There were lots of team games and prizes which were very popular. The party was a huge success (kids and parents in full agreement) and they were still talking about it on Monday at school. What greater compliment!

Mark hosted a 'hollywood musical' themed disco for our school - with ages ranging from 5 to 11. I found Mark really professional before the event in confirming exactly what was required, and in making suggestions for the event. The children had an absolute ball and I had loads of parents telling me that it was the best school disco we have put on. The fantastic lights and bubbles - not to mention the wonderful Troy really made it a night to remember. Mark did an amazing job keeping the kids on the dance floor - with fun games and a really well judged musical selection. The parents enjoyed it too, and I would highly recommend Dancemasters.

A High School Musical 8th Birthday disco! What a fantastic time the children had - Mark and Troy kept them entertained the whole time - with a variety of fun games and super prizes! All based around the HSM theme - the age group ranged from 4 to 10 however all the children were involved, nobody felt left out - it catered for everyone! They all had a fab time and said it was the best party they had ever been too! Certainly would recommend this to any of my friends for their children's parties!

Mark and his colleague set up and cleared up efficiently without any fuss. The disco was great; the children loved the dancing, the competition and the games. The lights and bubble machine added to the fun. He kept 26 children happy for 2 hours so worth every penny! Perhaps a little too loud but that didn't seem to bother the children. I would definitely recommend Dancemasters.

Dancemasters provided the entertainment at my daughter's 12th birthday party. It seemed a bit expensive at first (although in-line with other discos), but was worth every penny. The kids had a fantastic time and Mark and his assistant kept them busy for the whole time. I would definitely book again!

Dancemasters were booked for a 60th Birthday party with an 80 strong guest list of ages 16 - 85.

There was something for everyone, no complaints, heaps of praise from guests of all ages, Mark himself was extremely personable, nothing was too much trouble and I would recommend this company without hesitation.

I cannot rate the dancemasters mobile disco show highly enough, my wife and i hired these guys to do the disco for our wedding reception and they were fantastic, they performed above expectations, even doing the speech and cake cutting announcements for us too!, we have had lots of positive feedback from our guests also. I would have absolutely no problems recommending these guys to anyone. My wife and i had an amazing wedding day, and night, and these guys helped in making that happen!!, great stuff!!
