Ione was brilliant, easy to book and sorted everything. We had her for an 80th birthday celebration in a restaurant. She made it easy and made sure everyone was included.
We sang and danced and laughed. Ione is very good to adapt to people needs and understands how it is going and adapts to people’s needs.
I would definitely recommend her to anyone young or old as it is so much fun.

Ione was great, lively, friendly a great laugh. I felt as though I had known her for ever.
The party attendees really enjoyed her, she had them in stitches. Ione was only with us for an hour which really isn't long enough as she is really great in creating the right kind of party atmosphere, next time I will definitely invite her for longer - money well spent thank you Ione 💐 More...

Ione is absolutely phenomenal. From the moment she walked in, she brought the most beautiful, uplifting energy that transformed the entire atmosphere. She has a natural ability to light up a room; lively, warm, engaging and full of genuine enthusiasm.

She hosted my mum’s 70th birthday dinner beautifully, guiding the activities with charm and ease and keeping every guest involved without ever making anything feel forced. Her presence elevated the event and truly made the day special. My mum felt celebrated, relaxed and deeply appreciated; largely because of how wonderfully Ione managed everything.

Her professionalism, creativity and sheer charisma are unmatched. I couldn’t have asked for a better hostess. She turned a lovely event into something unforgettable.

I highly, highly recommend her. She is a gem.
THANK YOU SO MUCH IONE!!!!

Ione Brown brought warmth, professionalism, and precision to the SFE Façade Design and Engineering Awards. Her voiceover delivery was seamless and engaging, helping the event run smoothly and to time.

We had the best time at our private group pre wedding family dance session, learning the electric slide/Candy Dance! Ione was fantastic instructor full of energy, fun, and incredibly professional. She made everyone feel comfortable and engaged, from kids to grandparents, and was so patient throughout. It was the perfect pre wedding family activity, and we all left smiling (and dancing). I highly recommend Ione's services to anyone looking for a joyful and inclusive dance experience. More...

I recently attended a private salsa dance session with Ione Brown, and it was fantastic! Ione was incredibly professional and respectful throughout, creating a comfortable and motivating environment. The session was fun-packed and intense — a real workout for both body and mind. Be sure to come prepared with a bottle of water and fuel up beforehand with a banana or a light, slow energy-release snack. Highly recommended for anyone looking to elevate their salsa skills!

Dance Lessons

I came to Ione for private dance lessons so I could confidently get on the dance floor and dance like no one was watching for my milestone birthday. She was fun, friendly, professional and so patient with me. She taught me how to feel the beat of the music, showed me a combination of dance moves and when to change/apply them confidently.

I wish I had found Ione sooner as I've been missing out on such much fun!

I am looking forward to starting Ione's locally run salsa and afro beats classes soon.

5 star rating definitely deserving.

She entertained 50 employees with engaging corporate games, bringing great energy to the atmosphere. Many attendees mentioned how friendly and fun she was.

Ione is a “hearing for sore ears” (did you “hear” what I did there 😂) she’s funny. I hired Ione to perform at my 60th and did she deliver. Ione came prepared and even after asking pre-questions about me, delivered a poem and comedy sketch second to none. Why she’s not on the professional circuit, I don’t know!

Ione's comedy routines are not to be missed. There is nothing as good as a hearty belly laugh accompanied by a few tears of laughter to make us feel good. This is what you'll get when listening to Ione's comedy routine - she is just brilliant, and as we know, laughter is so good for the soul! 😄
