Guests will also be fascinated by a hammock dance repertoire five metres above the crowd and enjoy masked acrobats, a large fire fan and hoop dance performances, plus awesome dance performances by the ever popular Dazzling Divas and other entertainment surprises. You are encouraged to attend in cocktail attire, festive mask and or theatrical hair & makeup. Masks are available at Dollar Bazaar and makeup can be done by Funtopia.
