1.Decide on a theme for the upcoming event
Who are the guests, and what is the age group? What are their preferences? What style of dancing will suit them most — energetic, crowd, romantic? These are the first questions to ask yourself before starting to plan the event.
2.Make a list of the "pros" and "cons" of a venue
What is it like? Is it your home residence, office, or a specially hired place like a restaurant or even a ballroom? Knowing the venue's characteristics is important before creating the scenario of a dance party. It must have a proper area, and setting, and has to answer a number of technical requirements. Will you need a stage or a proper dance floor? Are you planning to party "until late"? Then definitely inquire about the noise restrictions from the property owner!
3.Order drinks and snacks or a catering service
Knowing the number of guests, ordering drinks and snacks, or hiring a catering service wouldn't be that hard. Experienced party organizers recommend doing all calculations and preliminary orders at least a month before a dance party.
4.Hire professional party dancers
Hiring entertainment dancers is probably the most important step, as it almost guarantees the party's success! You already know the theme of your event, let the representative of the dance troupe know it, and he or she will suggest the best dances for parties.
5.Set the boundaries of your party budget
Tell yourself in advance, what budget you are ready for, and when is the time to stop. When it comes to dancing parties, people get carried away. Call all entertainers that are involved, ask for a price quote in advance. For example, do you know, how much it costs to hire a dancer? No? Just dial that number and find out right away!
6.Prepare the costumes...
Your costume also depends on the theme of your dance party! Like everybody else, you probably already had a party costume disaster, at the very last moment... So plan your costumes, just as dances for parties, ahead.
...And don't forget to send invitations!
A very important step. Not to be overwhelmed with the phone calls at the moment you should be sipping your drink and greeting guests, list all the important party details (venue's name and address, how to get there, exact timings, dress code, etc). And send those invitations in advance too!
