Villains Dance


In the early 1980s in the United States, the music scene was taken over by a bands such as Mötley Crüe, Ratt, Def Leopard, Journey, Quiet Riot, Twisted Sister, Stryper, Bon Jovi, and Dokken. During the late-80s an even more electrifying bands such as Poison, Skid Row, Cinderella and Warrant raised the bar.  There were countless others.

The music followed patterns of heavy metal but added iconic guitar riffs and harmonies.  Stage Performances were OVER THE TOP.  Lights, sound, staged theatrics, and special effects rewrote the book for live music entertainers.  Concerts weren’t just music anymore; they were an EXPERIENCE.

Today, 80s Arena Rock is the most identifiable music over the broadest demographics in the world thanks to a resurgence largely based on the release of biographies of bands from that era.  Many 80s artists are receiving very high play time on radio stations throughout the United States and concert attendances are anticipated to be astronomical following the pandemic.

One of the most outstanding members on The Bash for 2020!

Villains Dance- The Ultimate 80s Arena Rock Experience DELIVERS the 80s with the same high intensity to each event they perform and bring the crowd to a PEAK while delivering all the chart busters from the bands listed above and many more.

Villains Dance’s #1 goal is to make everyone attending their Experience feel like they just attended A REAL 80s Arena Rock Concert.
