Dance Show Filming

Here at CDB Production Solutions we are increasingly getting more and more busy with various performance companies and dance schools.  We supply them with technical production services to facilitate dance show filming, Sound hire and Lighting hire.

We know that lots of hard work and rehearsals go into putting on a dance show and we understand that you want to capture and showcase your group’s talent in the best possible way, with a professional recording that your pupils and families can be proud of and treasure the memories over time.

With this in mind, let us take away that extra hassle with the technical aspects of the show in terms of lighting, sound and vision.

As more and more shows are being filmed it is very important the lighting and sound are right.  For example, a well-rehearsed dance routine will only look as good both ‘live’ in the venue or ‘captured’ on a DVD if it is lit correctly.  Lighting also can be used to; set the scene, enhance an energetic performance, draw in the audience with a carefully lit moody or sad song, invoke emotion or simply light the stage with a theme or your dance schools colours.

Equally sound is just as important.  Did you know humans gain more than 70% of information through the sense of hearing?  For this reason it is very important that everyone, both ‘live’ in the venue or ‘captured’ on a recording has good quality clear (which doesn’t have to mean loud) audio.  Dancers performing a routine, a group or soloist performing a musical theatre piece, to a person making an announcement or voice over, will only sound as good the as the sound system, fold back monitors, microphones, playback devices being used and the sound engineer mixing the audio to achieve a great balance.

We also understand Dance Show Filming can be an additional expense for your school, but we make our prices affordable and accessible.  We tailor bespoke solutions to you rather than offering various packages where you have to pick the one that closest matches your needs.

Whatever level you are performing at, quality lighting and sound really do make a difference to Dance Show filming.  We have vast knowledge and experience of working within theatres and dance schools.  We can provide you with individual items on dry hire to full production, with lighting and sound engineers.  We offer your school or organisation, a high standard and professional total production solution.

If you are planning an event and require any assistance, please get in touch via our contact us form. Or if you would prefer to speak to someone in person, give our office a call on 01325 520357.  We are always on hand to provide information and guidance.
