Corporate Events

If you are looking for something different for your corporate event, please consider "Crazy Rhythm, Fancy Feet". We specialize in fun, "non-rock" music played by the best instrumentalists and singers in the Philadelphia area.

Our band is different than the standard wedding band. It consists of:

Note: We can perform with a smaller or larger band depending upon your needs.

Even though we specialize in non-rock music, if you would like rock played throughout your event, we would be happy to do so. Our quartet can be augmented with female vocals, guitar, trumpet, trombone and percussion allowing us to expand to a 9-piece orchestra. We can provide a soloist or duo if you are having a small event in which you envision background jazz for cocktails and dinner.

“Crazy Rhythm, Fancy Feet” always plays at a volume that is appropriate for the situation. Your guests will be thrilled that they can comfortably talk to each other during cocktails and dinner, while the dance music will be played at a volume that creates plenty of excitement!

We will “get the crowd going” so to speak, if your guests need prompting. We keep this to a minimum, since we firmly believe that the bandleader should not be the center of attention. All of the announcements can be made by us, and we will discuss these, along with specific music requests, in advance.

 

 

We offer the option of adding dancers to your party, or as we call it, the extra "WOW" factor.

“Crazy Rhythm, Fancy Feet” offers a unique service. In addition to playing music, we offer the option of adding dancers to perform choreographed "partner dance" routines, interact with the guests, teach a fun, brief dance lesson, or a mix of all of these services. For example, if you are having a dinner-dance, we can perform a few dance routines throughout the evening interspersed with dance music for your guests.

As a result of shows like "Dancing with the Stars", our shows have gotten even more popular.

Pictured to the right are Bob and his dance partner, Eva Brothers, performing their wild swing routine at a wedding. This routine has raised the roof at many corporate events as well. Other routines that we have performed at corporate events are our zany Charleston, an exciting disco routine, a hot salsa number, and a romantic tango. Just to clear things up, Bob Butryn, the band leader and clarinetist is the dancer who performs with Eva. That works out great for you. Since Bob is already at the event leading the band, he does not charge for his dance services. That's right, Bob's dance services are FREE when he is the band leader.

We take great pride in working with our clients and their representing agencies so their vision is executed in the most effective way. We offer many options when booking our band and/or dancers, so please give us a call so we can talk about what you had in mind. Together, we can design the music and dance entertainment for your event that will reflect your individual tastes, in which the outcome will be excellent!

Theme Events & Video

Theme events are quite popular. In addition to playing music to reflect a particular theme, you can also use our dancers at these events which will add the “wow” factor. We not only look the part, but we dance the part as well. Here is a list of the types of events at which we have performed:

 

 

 

- Wild Swing:  Break out the fedora, suspenders and the “hep” talk.Our female dancers will be flying through the air during our swing routine to   “Ain’t Nobody Here But Us Chickens.

 

 

 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   

                                                                                           

 

 

- Zany Charleston: Outrageous liberation for the time, the clothes and dance of the 1920s just scream  “let’s have fun.”

 

 

 

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

 - Hot Salsa: It’s exciting, it’s fun, and it’s all about the hips

 

 

 

 

- Oktoberfest: It’s Oom-Pah time, while we play and dance waltzes and polkas, such as “Edelwiess” and the  “Beer Barrel Polka.” We also can lead the ever popular “Chicken Dance.”

- Mardi Gras: We will perform New Orleans favorites like “Iko, Iko” and “When The Saints Go Marchin’ In”.

- Hoe-down: We will 2-step our way around the barn, lead some line dances, and mix in Appalachian clogging to boot.

 

- `50s, `60s, `70s, `80s:

Nostalgia is “in”. Pictured to the right are Bob, Eva and a happy guest at a 50s theme party at the Philadelphia Convention Center.

At this event, Bob and Eva performed their dance routine to the classic "Johnny B. Goode", and danced with the guests throughout the evening. Fun was had by all.

Past Performances

 We have performed at many prestigious events such as the Philadelphia Orchestra’s New Year’s Eve Soiree for seven years, the Republican National Convention for 20,000 conventioneers, and Hotel Hershey’s New Year’s Eve Gala for five years.  We have performed the whole spectrum of music at dinner-dances for many Fortune 500 companies such as Merck, Sunoco and General Electric.  Wawa and Home Depot are two companies that have used our Dixieland jazz and our Charleston dancers as big “attention getters” at their grand openings.

Bob and Eva performing for 20,000 people at the First Union Center (now the Wachovia Center) during the Republican National Convention.  This was broadcast internationally on C-SPAN.

 In summary, we offer something unique for corporate events. You have the option of augmenting your event with a short floor show and/or dance lesson. This optional segment is not designed to take over the affair, but to add a bit of the “wow” factor to it. You and your guests will feel that your event was even more memorable.

If you are looking for a solo piano player for background dinner music, a ten-piece big band with dancers for a “roaring twenties night,” or anything in between, “Crazy Rhythm, Fancy Feet” is the perfect choice.

Whether you are having a dinner-dance, fund raiser, grand opening or a product launch, “Crazy Rhythm, Fancy Feet” will work with you to make the music and dance entertainment at your event just what you envisioned.
