A very important question! To properly entertain guests at a Christmas party, you really need to plan everything ahead. And by "ahead" we mean at least 6 months before "Jingle Bells" starts playing from every speaker! The scale of the party will determine whether you can do the rest by yourself or will need to hire a party organizer. No matter which one is your choice, here are a few "boring" essentials that, in fact, determine the success of any fun party.
Hiring the dancers. As this article is dedicated to Christmas dancing, we recommend thinking of a dance act for hire in advance. Discuss the date with the manager of your performers and make sure they are available.
Choosing the music. Essential! The best Christmas dance songs will "make" the party. And make sure that your guests like them.
Booking the venue. Once you've chosen your Toronto performers, the music, and the choreography style, make sure to book the venue. Consider the technical requirements listed by your dancers!
Considering the timing. The important part of the Christmas dance party is the timing. When do you want the show to start and to begin? What will your guests be doing at the time? Answer all the essential questions and create a thorough schedule of the event.
Organizing and decorating the space. What will the setting be like? Will your guests stand or sit at the tables? Do you want traditional decorations or something modern, like balloons with sparkles inside and disco balls?
Buying presents. If you want the Christmas to be merry, presents, or small souvenirs are essential. Think of what your guests will like the most, and never compromise. There is nothing worse than a meaningless cheap Christmas "giveaway"!
Ordering drinks and catering. There's never enough champagne at Christmas dances. If you don't want the fun to be spoiled, trust ordering food/snacks and drinks to somebody who really knows what he's doing, and don't forget to include it into a party budget.
Creating the entertainment program. Fun games, singing "Merry Christmas" or "Jingle Bells" all together, and the other dance party essentials are important. And you know what? Most likely, your performers will offer you the best Christmas party entertainment program! Ask them what they can offer together with the dance (a Secret Santa?) and enjoy the beautiful holidays with your close ones!
No matter what kind of event you're planning, hiring dancers for a Christmas party is a perfect idea. Focus on appreciation of closeness and friendship. Believe in all the best things in the world, and let the magic happen! The best Christmas dance songs will create the atmosphere, the rhythm will bring everyone together... And the rest is up to us, your Christmas dancers!
