Want to plan the school dance of the year, but not sure how? Then keep reading - Kidzworld is here to tell you how to plan an awesome dance!
School Dances - Getting Started
School dances are fun, but they take a lot of planning and organizing. It's not a one-person job, so ask for
volunteers by posting
sign-up sheets in the hallways. Once you've gathered up a
dance party committee of 5-10 guys and girls, you'll need to assign each person
a specific job and hold
weekly meetings to get an update on the party planning.
School Dances - Picking a Theme
You don't have to be
Walt Disney to create a great theme for your school dance. All you need to do is keep it fun and simple. Grab
bales of hay and scarecrows for a country hoedown,
jack-o-lanterns and cobwebs for a
Halloween bash, or flashing bulbs and
a red carpet for a Hollywood premiere party!
School Dances - Hiring a DJ
Music is one of the most important things at a dance, so you'll definitely need to blast some kickin' tunes. If you have enough money in your budget, you can hire a
DJ or have a
live band perform on stage, but if you're a little strapped for cash, then just play CDs from a stereo. Whichever way you go, just be sure to play
different kinds of music, like alternative,
hip hop and R&B, pop,
rock and techno so that everyone will get a taste of their
fave tracks.
School Dances - Getting Refreshed
You can have
water and paper cups as the bare minimum, or arrange a huge spread of cake, pop, pastries and
fruit punch. If your school budget is running low, then why not
throw a fundraiser the night before the school dance? Parents and teachers may be willing to
donate some money or even
a big cake for such a fun cause!
