DANCING DREAM: The Tribute to ABBA, the greatest pop supergroup from Sweden that ruled the music world in the 70′ and it still holds the title of one of the best pop groups in the world ever. Dancing Dream from New York City pays tribute to the legendary Swedish group honoring their legacy.
Every show electrifies audiences of all ages with the best hits “Mamma Mia”, “Dancing Queen”, “Take a Chance”, “Fernando”, and many more. The New York City based touring tribute act was founded by two European singers in 2009 in hopes of transporting nostalgic audiences back to the happy and groovy times of the 70s.
Because of the rise in popularity of both the movie and broadway play Mamma Mia , DANCING DREAM was able to do just that! Since then, they have been invited to many summer concerts across the country attracting audiences of all age groups. The same year they had formed, they were featured on The Colbert Report with comedian Stephen Colbert which had placed them on the map for top tribute acts in their country! This opportunity had also helped them land gigs in large venues all across the nation.
Since then, the band has toured Florida with performances in theaters, colleges and popular clubs as well as outdoor concerts and Scandinavian festivals in California, North Dakota, New York and New Jersey. They also perform often in New York casinos (Empire Casino and Resorts World Casino) and famous clubs (BB King’s) in Times Square NYC. Many concert venues and theaters across the country are featuring the band on a regular basis.
So, what can you expect at a DANCING DREAM tribute to ABBA show? Expect our team of seasoned musicians and talented lead singers (“Agnetha” and “Frida”) to take you on a nostalgic trip back to the glitz and glamour of the 70s with their beautiful harmonies, elaborate costumes and exciting choreography
This ABBA Tribute Band’s fan base is ever-growing all over the country! Don’t miss this opportunity to slip on your platforms and sing along to your favorite ABBA songs performed by DANCING DREAM
