Dance group names
Choosing a name for your dance group will help establish your identity. It should embody what you are about and help people understand you before watching you dance. As most dance groups compete in competitions, you’ll want to project a sense of superiority to establish that you’re the best.
Stage names for dancers
You might want to choose a stage name if you’re a solo dancer. Most individual dancers tend to use their own names but there is nothing wrong with adding a bit of artistic flair, especially if your a break or street dancer. It could be a good idea to look at examples from recording artists that dance. This would be really useful if you’re a performer who sings and dances.
Dance studio names
Choosing the name for a dance studio is just as challenging as choosing one for a group. It could be better to get your group name down first and then have your studio name as a spin-off. Alternatively, you could create your studio name first and then create multiple dance group names inspired by your studio.
Choosing a name
Take your time and get lots of ideas down. Look at other groups and studio for inspiration but don’t be too derivative. You could try using a name generator but don’t expect to get the best results. You should choose a name that is personal to you but helps you stand out amongst all the other groups and studios. Remember that you’re competing and you want to be the best.
Best dance groups
We’ve put together a list of some of the best dance groups in the world. Hopefully, this will inspire you to come up with a great stage name for your group and also give you some ideas for some new moves.
The Royal Family
The Royal Family are a massive New Zealand dance crew that conquered the World Hip Hop Dance Championships 3 times. They are one of the most successful and most watched dance groups in the world. Their performance below has over 132 million views on YouTube!
The group’s founder, Parris Goebel, created The Palace Dance Studio, which is where the group train and practice. Parris is also the choreographer and works with some of the biggest names in the world, including Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber and Little Mix.
The group’s name is all about royalty, establishing their status before they’ve even stepped on the stage. It fits in nicely with The Palace Dance Studio name, showing their nobility and greatness on the world stages of dance. The fact that the names are backed up by one of the most successful crews means they are more than living up to their name.
America’s Got Talent Dance Groups
America’s Got Talent hasn’t produced any winners who are dance groups. However, it has produced one of the most successful dance groups in the world, who also have one of the best names.
JabbawockeeZ
This successful dance group didn’t get very far in America’s Got Talent. However, they did end up winning America’s Best Dance Crew a year later. They have toured across the world, been on hit TV shows such as Master of None and regularly perform at the NBA finals.
Little is known about their members because they all wear masks. The mystery only adds to the allure of the group and gives them a classic and recognisable image.
Their unusual name is a take on the word Jabberwocky. This is the title of a famous nonsense poem from Lewis Carrol, the writer of Alice in Wonderland. It essentially describes a crazy monster, which is appropriate for the group’s surreal visual look.
DM Nation
Another dance group that didn’t go all the way was DM Nation. Their name stands for District Mao, the dance studio that they practice in. Combining this with nation shows their united front and togetherness as a large dance crew. Although they didn’t have the same kind of success as JabbawockeeZ, they’re still competing in global competitions.
Britain’s Got Talent Dance Groups
Britain’s Got Talent has had many brilliant acts perform and amongst these are several dance groups. The final in 2009 hosted two of the best to ever grace the show, Flawless and the winners, Diversity.

Flawless
Although they didn’t win Britains Got Talent, they used it to launch their careers by touring after the competition. Their name sums up the visual aesthetic that they are going for with their well put together style. Combined with their precision dance moves, they really showed that they deserved the name Flawless.
