How To Get More People On The Dance Floor
Curious how to get more guests on the dance floor? Here are my top 4 tips to get the party started and keep the energy up:
1. Set your DJ up for success - DJ booth placement is key. This small detail can easily be overlooked. Make sure you create a floor plan that places the DJ (and speakers) on the edge of the dance floor. This isn’t just for ample volume. DJs need to see faces, body language and how enthusiast people are about the music being played so they can read the room. If they can’t read the energy to know when to mix in and out of songs, dancing can easily fizzle.
2. Incorporate a live performer - If you’re looking to add the entertainment factor of a performer while still having a DJ, adding in a musician or group is your answer. Whether you’re thinking a saxophone, drummer, guitarist or even a Lebanese dance group, this unexpected element will have guests running to the dance floor. fizzle.
3. Get on the dance floor yourself - Guests are often following the lead of the couple. When attendees see you dancing, they want to join in on the fun.
4. Hire an experienced DJ - Music has the power to make or break your event. You’ve spent months (sometimes years) planning your wedding. Not to mention the countless amount of money you’ve invested. Not only will a professional take the time to get to know you as a couple, your taste in music and the ins and outs of your event, but their expansive knowledge of music and skills will ensure a successful and memorable evening for all.
