Specialising in tribute acts, Leona Marie is the mastermind behind Be My Baby. She used her experience on the West End to bring the Dirty Dancing tribute act to life. Armed with her three-octave vocal range, professional choreography and personal passion - no one puts Leona in the corner.
The act has appeared at such prestigious events as the Edinburgh Fringe and Glasgow Film Festival, a testament to their professional standard. Leona's first taste of Dirty Dancing was when she played Penny in 2017 and 2018. While she toured Ireland, Leona came up with the idea of Be My Baby, influenced by her highly successful career - she achieved three Top 40 Hits with the girl band, Lemonescent.
The band is comprised of Baby and Johnny, combined with a talented entourage of dancers, making for an action-packed show of Dirty Dancing's most-loved hits. Their love of dancing is infectious, leaving your guests eager to join in the fun. From Do You Love Me? to Hungry Eyes, the duo performs visually enticing choreography coupled with West End worthy vocals.
Dependent on the theme of your event, this act can tailor their performance - if you are organising a sophisticated wedding, they can produce slick ballroom routines but, if you want to throw a nostalgic birthday party, they can turn up the tempo and perform classics from the film.
Described as "explosive", Be My Baby can transport your guests back to the 80s/90s classic. Whether you are a Pink Lady or a T-Bird, they can also perform hits from Grease too! Booking this Dirty Dancing tribute act will ensure that your guests have the "time of their lives". Their set will enchant audiences, keeping them on the edge of their seats until Johnny lifts Baby into the air - the moment everyone waits for.
