Darley Dance Productions
We are a dance and entertainment companies that provides dancers, singers and entertainers for events. We also provide pro-cheerleaders for professional sports events.
We first opened in 2008 and have been working in events around Derby and Derbyshire ever since.
We hire freelance performers based in and around Derbyshire.
In 2018 we launched our own production. We wanted a sustainable event that could provide consistent work for local freelance performers during the festive season and we wanted to bring a fun and exciting event to our local community.
We launched The Christmas Show. Our show is a festive variety show that brings professional talent to a local stage. Instead of performing in the theatres in the city we decided instead that we wanted to put our show in venues right in the community. Church halls where people could wrap up warm and take a winter want to their local venue and enjoy a top notch show.
In 2018 we put our show in St Nicks Church Hall in Allestree and in 2019 we performed there again as well as Melbourne Assembly Rooms. We hope to keep adding venues and expanding our show. We want to become part of people’s Christmas traditions and offer them a consistently fabulous show that they can rely on every year to get them in the festive mood.
This is turn will offer reliable work to local freelance performers so that they can be home during the Christmas period without having to worry about missing out on work.

COVID-19 Update
We have struggled this year with all of our events and shows cancelled.
We want to end the year on a high with The Show Must Go OnLINE. We hope to bring The Christmas Show online to our audiences this year.
Instead of selling tickets then we have launched a crowdfunder which means audiences can choose the cost of their ticket by donating online. Anyone who donates anything will get a link to our show and a downloadable show programme.
