The magic of music and dance at your next party!
(Keeping your guests on the dance floor!)
Music and dance provide the backbone to a great party – not only is it fun, but there are also a host of social benefits.
Whether you can dance, think you can dance or acknowledge you have two left feet, there is no denying the magic of music and dance🕺💃🔥.
At your party, you will want to party – and party hard! Music and dance give people the opportunity to let their hair down, release tension and simply enjoy themselves. They each help create a positive atmosphere and encourage others to let go and get involved.
Of course, dance keeps us fit but from a psychological point of view, it helps us develop a sense of self-confidence and boosts self-esteem.
Most importantly, it makes us feel good and allows us to be carefree (if only for a few hours).
It’s this important ingredient that helps make parties and wedding receptions so special and memorable.
When we party, we party with friends – which is why party entertainment ideas such as ceilidh dancing🎶 or party games are so effective at promoting friendship and an environment for good times.
This is especially important if you have invited new people to your party – dance will help them relax and feel at ease in your company. It has been proven that new friendships can be formed when guests communicate through a common love of a particular activity, such as dancing!
Everything is better on the dancefloor!
Those who attend parties recognise that an empty dancefloor is a party killer – it can spell party disaster and send guests scurrying home early.
That’s why party organisers need to provide the right ingredients in order to make sure their party goes with a bang🎉.
A full dance floor is a glorious thing – a sure sign that your guests are having a great time, making memories as they dance the night away!
Great music and dance can help fix this problem!
It’s not always easy!
Getting guests on the dance floor is easier said than done! If you’ve hosted a party, you’ll know that many party-goers simply lack the courage to get up and let loose.
But party organisers needn’t panic, as there are ways to turn those sitting on the sidelines into party animals!
How to ensure your guests stay on the dancefloor!
So we know the wonderful benefits of great music and dance but how do we ensure that your guests stay on the dancefloor?
How to keep your guests on the dancefloor
Don’t let sore feet get in the way
Many of your guests will wear high heels and uncomfortable lace shoes. Provide comfortable shoes to your women guests for dancing. It could be anything from flip flops to cute socks to small ballet flats. Have them passed on when the dancing starts to show your guests you want them to dance as well as have a great time😍.
Hire a professional
A pro has a set of tricks that are used when they face a shy public🎤. They’ll know how to set the mood and keep the energy so that people don’t sit in their seats.
Atmospheric lighting
Setting the tone with the lighting helps to encourage people to dance. Some venues do this with coloured lights, others have a laser or a mirror ball going round and round – all of which help create an atmosphere that is conducive to dancing the night away.
Assign your VIP guests
When you have a party, assign some of your best dancers to show other people how to dance. This will help the rest of the crowd to have fun and dance too.
This is particularly important when it comes to the likes of the Macarena or Ceilidh Ninjas showing off their flossing skills🤯.
Seat arrangement
Where possible, arrange the seats close to the dancefloor so guests who need a break can take it but return at the drop of a hat!
🎼Arrange something unique and exciting
Surprise your guests with something that will get people up and dancing in no time. Maybe it’s a professional dancer, a beatboxer, a bagpiper or indeed, a professional ceilidh caller!
A Ceilidh is a simple fix!
A what?!
A Ceilidh(pronounced Kay-Lea btw). It’s a party dance which is done in pairs or groups, where each party-goer learns a simple routine to live music – it’s easy to follow and a great party ice-breaker.
The dances are simple, fun and involve guests moving from one dance routine to the next – and to ensure everyone knows what to do, the dance is hosted by a Ceilidh caller.
It’s popular with all ages and party organisers love ceilidhs because is a dance-floor filler!
A party is better if people are dancing! Music and dance are party-starters – they bring people together.
If party hosts want to keep party guests on the dancefloor, they need not look further than a ceilidh. Afterwards, party organisers can follow up the ceilidh with other party entertainment ideas such as party games or karaoke which will help party guests party hard all night long!
So, if you’re party-planning and want your party to be a cut above the rest, why not “go ceilidh” – it’s party magic for all✨!
