Having everyone dress up is a great way to make an epic dance party even more fun. Whether it's a toga party or a Rubik's Cube theme, costumes unite people and keep them on the dance floor.
A good supply of food and drinks is also a must-have for any party. Whether you're doing a buffet or potluck, ensure enough for everyone.
Set the Theme
Setting a theme is one of the most important steps in ensuring that your dance party ideas are epic. This doesn't have to be anything too crazy — people often have more fun at parties with a theme they can get behind (think Rubik's Cube, Seven Deadly Sins, or the always-classic Toga Party).
Pick a color scheme or musical style to use as your guide, and then decorate the space accordingly. You can even rent lighting like a disco ball or projections from Peerspace to create the right atmosphere for your guests to cut loose.
Once your guests are in the mood to dance, getting them out of it is hard. Try to keep the dancing going as long as possible — 2.0-2.5 hours is usually enough time for your DJ to learn how to read the crowd and build momentum.
Invite the Right People
It's important to have a mix of people attend a dance party. Make sure there's some of the crowd that loves to dance as well as those who want to hang out and socialize. If you plan on having a big crowd, consider renting a large space to give everyone room to spin around.
Food and drinks are necessary at any party, but they're especially essential at a dance party. You don't want your guests' rumbling stomachs to distract them from the music. You can choose to have a buffet or ask attendees to bring a dish to share. You'll also want plenty of water and soda so nobody gets dehydrated.
Make It a Party
When the dance floor fills up, it's a sure sign that you've got a great party on your hands. People will be connecting with old friends and making new ones, too. You might even find your coworkers wanting to ditch the office for a wild night at your place.
Make sure everyone is kept fed and hydrated. And that you have enough seats or couches for those who need a break from the dance floor.
If you're planning a fundraiser or charity dance party, don't forget to display info about the cause you're supporting. It can make the event meaningful to guests and help drum up support and donations.
Get the Music Right
One thing that every great dance party must-have is great music. Whether you want to create your own playlist or hire a DJ, having the right tunes playing throughout the night is important.
Ensure you also have the appropriate sound equipment for your space. You can use any modern device with a quality stereo to play your songs or rent a professional system for an added touch of class.
You should also ensure food and drinks are available for your guests. They will work up an appetite and thirst while dancing, so providing them with refreshments will help to keep their energy going strong. Having a delicious spread of food and drink is often the best way to get people out on the dance floor.
Make Sure the Lighting is Right
There is more to throwing an epic dance party than just cranking up the tunes and inviting your friends. You need to consider all the details that make a party great and do what you can to ensure everything goes off without a hitch.
A good place to start is with the lighting. The venue must be well-lit so guests can see where they are going. Also, add some mood lighting to create a fun atmosphere.
Try adding some strobe lights or other lighting to set the tone for your night. You can even use a projector to show a light show that reacts to the music you are playing. This is a cool way to add extra flair to your dance party.
Set the Scene
Whether it's an epic dance party you want or just a few people dancing at your home, a killer space is a must. Find a great space in your area on Peerspace and rent it for the night.
Guests will work up an appetite and thirst dancing, so have snacks and drinks available. This will encourage people to come back and dance again.
Once the dance party starts, don't interrupt it for toasts, cake cutting, group pictures, or anything else! It takes energy to build a dance party, and interruptions will destroy any momentum. Please keep it going until the end of the night. Then you can rest easy knowing you've thrown an epic dance party. Your friends will talk about it for years to come!
Make it a Night to Remember
To really wow your guests at the end of the night, surprise them with a fun performance. This could be anything from a group of fire dancers to a mariachi band. It's a great way to finish the party and leave your guests with a lasting memory.
Keep the energy up by being present on the dance floor. If you leave to take photos or chat with a friend, you'll suck the energy out of the room.
If you're on a budget, consider renting line-dancing shoes for your guests. This will also make it easier for women to dance, especially if they don't feel comfortable going barefoot. This can increase the number of women on the dance floor, improving the overall quality of the party.
