Día de los Muertos booking questions.

How far in advance should we book for Día de los Muertos?
Día de los Muertos is one of our busiest seasons, so we recommend booking 6–8 weeks ahead. For last-minute dates, reach out anyway; we'll do our best to accommodate you.
Can you perform outdoors, like at a park or cemetery event?
Yes. We perform outdoors and indoors. We just need a flat space roughly 12x12 feet and, if we're using our speaker, a nearby power outlet.
Can you dance to a live mariachi band or our DJ's music?
Yes. We regularly coordinate with a live mariachi band, a DJ, or your event's own sound system. Just let us know when you book.
Can you include a short educational intro about Día de los Muertos traditions?
Yes. We can open with a brief, family-friendly explanation of the holiday's traditions and the dances before we perform, a nice touch for a mixed audience.
How many dancers perform and how long is the show?
Most bookings run 15–30 minutes with 3–8 dancers, often as one or two short sets. Tell us about your event and we'll recommend a lineup.
When are you available?
Evenings and weekends year-round, plus weekday evenings for company events. Our dancers work and study during the day, so weekday daytime performances (including school-hour assemblies) are rarely possible. If your event is on a weekday evening or a weekend, ask.
