At 20 Media, we specialise in filming live performances, dance shows, school productions and theatre events across Kent, Surrey, Sussex, London and the wider UK. We do not just turn up with one camera at the back of the room. We plan the coverage, film with multiple professional cameras, capture clean sound where possible, and deliver the finished show in a way that is simple for families to watch and enjoy.
We have filmed in theatres, schools, cathedrals, performance venues, hotels, conference spaces and major event locations across the country. From local dance school showcases to large-scale theatre productions, our job is simple:
Why dance schools choose 20 Media
20 Media has worked across a wide range of live-event venues, including theatres and performance spaces such as The Stag Theatre in Sevenoaks, EM Forster Theatre in Tonbridge, Hazlitt Theatre in Maidstone, Churchill Theatre in Bromley, The Orchard Theatre in Dartford, Epsom Playhouse, Harlequins Theatre in Reigate, Leas Cliff Hall in Folkestone, Theatre Royal Brighton, New Theatre Cardiff, The Anvil in Basingstoke, Watford Palace Theatre, Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch, Greenwich Theatre, Ulster Hall Belfast and the O2 Arena in London.
That experience helps us understand the real challenges of filming a stage show.
More than just filming: we help with the full show video experience
Many dance schools do not just need someone to film the show. They need the whole process to feel organised.
That is where 20 Media can help.
We can create a pre-order page before the show, send you a QR code for the programme, provide wording for parent emails, and make sure families know how to purchase their copy.
This helps increase sales before show day and reduces admin for the dance school.
After the show, we can also help with follow-up messages, delivery updates and simple parent support.
The result is a smoother experience for everyone.
A fun breakdown of how we film your show
1. We plan the coverage before the curtain goes up
Before filming day, we confirm the show details, venue, timings, running order and any important notes. If there are multiple shows, different casts, awards, speeches or special routines, we want to know.
The better the plan, the better the final film.
We look at the venue, the camera positions, the stage layout and the best way to cover the performance without blocking the audience or distracting the dancers.
2. We film with multiple cameras
Our usual approach is multi-camera filming. That means we can capture the full stage while also creating a more engaging final edit with closer angles where suitable.
For dance shows, the wide camera is essential. Parents want to see the whole routine, not just random close-ups. But a show filmed only as a wide shot can feel flat.
3. We understand theatre lighting
We are used to working in theatres, school halls, churches, cathedrals and performance venues where lighting can change quickly and camera positions are not always ideal.
Our experience in venues such as The Stag Theatre Sevenoaks, EM Forster Theatre Tonbridge, Churchill Theatre Bromley, Theatre Royal Brighton, Leas Cliff Hall Folkestone and The Orchard Theatre Dartford means we know how to work with stage lighting rather than fight against it.
4. We capture sound properly
A great show film needs more than a clear picture. It needs sound that feels alive.
Where possible, we record audio from the venue’s sound desk and combine this with room sound so the final film still feels like a live performance. You want the music to be clear, but you also want to hear the applause, the atmosphere and the reaction in the room.
That balance matters.
5. We deliver the show in a simple way
Once the show is filmed and edited, we deliver it digitally through a secure viewing platform, giving families a simple way to stream and enjoy the performance.
Depending on the package, we can help with:
- pre-sale purchase pages
- QR codes for programmes
- parent emails
- show posters
- digital streaming
- download access
- USB copies where required
- post-show purchase reminders

This experience matters because every venue is different. Some have beautiful lighting but limited camera positions. Some have great sound but awkward access. Some have small stages, some have huge auditoriums, and some have very strict rules about where cameras can go.
We are used to adapting.
What makes a 20 Media dance show film different?
We respect the choreography
We do not overdo the close-ups and lose the routine. The audience at home should be able to enjoy the full performance.
We make the show feel alive
We use multiple angles, clean audio and careful editing to make the film feel polished without losing the live atmosphere.
We think about parents
Families need a simple way to watch, stream and keep the show. We make the delivery as clear as possible.
We support the dance school
From pre-sale links to QR codes and parent emails, we help reduce the admin around selling and delivering the show film.
