Swan Salon Performing Troupe

"You all do a fantastic job and add elegance to any event."
---Ann Hagan-Michel, Executive Director, Ashland the Henry Clay Estate.

Does your organization have an interest in entertainment, the arts, or history? We've performed for audiences at reenactments, museums, concerts, historic homes, festivals, theaters, schools, private parties, retirement communities, wedding receptions, and conferences.

Are you planning an event? A musical performance? A Civil War event? We can develop our performance to suit your needs. We can include anecdotes and history about the dances, social customs, costumes, and music of the time. We can also teach a step or two.

We love to join forces with other arts groups for special performances. We've performed with the Kentucky Ballet Theatre, Saxton's Cornet Band, the Lexington Chamber Chorale, and the Central Kentucky Concert Band. We've danced for the Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra and the Owensboro Symphony. We've danced for the movies, too---a documentary and a feature film.

Places we have performed (among others):

Biltmore Estate

The Frazier Historical Arms Museum

Ballet under the Stars
