“Their performance was beyond all expectations. The dance floor was always packed. Even the staff behind the bar couldn’t stand still. Their well thought out playlist ensured that each song blended perfectly into the next. Thank you Dance Commander for making my party a huge success.”
“We booked them for our corporate annual Christmas party, held in one of Lac Leamy’s banquet halls. The music selection was fantastic and kept everyone dancing until the very end of the evening. We look forward to having them join us again next year!”
“After their awesome performance in 2016, we booked Dance Commander to return in May of 2017 to play the main stage outside City Hall, part of our Celebration Concert Series during Race Weekend. Dance Commander’s high energy set was a perfect way for runners and to celebrate crossing the half-marathon and marathon finish lines.
”
“Great music, tons of dancing. Loved it. Cannot wait for you guys to come to Orleans again.”
“Thank you for a very entertaining evening. I had a great time. You are an excellent band.”
“Having Dance Commander play at our wedding made it go from a great wedding reception to a spectacular wedding reception. Our guests had a phenomenal time; Dance Commander kept the party going until midnight, and the groom’s 87-year-old grandmother was out on the dance floor the entire time with our friends! We had so much fun! 12 out of 10, would highly recommend.”
