A plethora of music.
Big word. Bigger Selection. Whether you are looking for the long lost hits of Alabama or the latest up to date dance music. Chances are...we have it. We employ a music library with over 18,000 songs to make sure we have all the music you need to dance the night away. From Dixie Chicks to Dixie Chicken, Earth, Wind, and Fire to Kool and the Gang, Van Morrison to Toby Keith. We keep all the music on hand so everybody stays on the dance floor and boogies the night away.
Plan the Party, ME?????
Do you remeber being hired for that? Don't worry, we have the experience and fun loving attitude to not only get you through this party but to make you a hero at the morning meeting on Monday!
Just remember to smile and say "No Big Deal"!
That's all well and good... but how do I get the CEO out on the floor?
Well, we can't promise that your president's footwork is going to eclipse any of John Travolta's dance choreography in "Saturday Night Fever," but the suggestions you find here should help you develop some fun ideas that will encourage guests to get on their feet.
Snowball Dance.
Here's an easy way to get all of your guests on the dance floor early-on. As soon as you'd like to kick things into high gear, your DJ will ask for a volunteer couple to go to the center of the dance floor (you may want to pre-arrange this with a willing pair prior to the party). It will then be requested that all guests form a circle around the dance floor. Once everyone's in place, a fun upbeat song will begin playing and the couple in the center will start dancing. After about fifteen seconds your DJ will instruct the couple to find new partners (they'll each grab a person from the surrounding circle). After another 15 seconds the two dancing couples will be instructed to find new partners, and things will continue in this manner until the dance floor is filled with all of your guests. It's a great ice-breaker that works like a charm every time.
Chinny Chin Chin.
This engaging game requires two or three teams of 5-10 people each, and one orange per team. Have the teams form parallel lines, one person behind another. Suggest that it might be better if they line up male-female-male-female. Give the first person in each line an orange. The object of the contest is to be the first team to move the orange up and back down the line by passing it using only their chins. If the orange is dropped at any point, it must be brought to the beginning of the line and the exercise must begin anew. Likewise, if a team breaks the "no hands" rule, they must start over again. Trust us on this one; it's far more fun than it sounds. You'll have a blast.
Do The Limbo.
Ask two volunteers to hold the ends of a bamboo pole (a broom handle will do in a pinch). Have everyone line up, one behind another, in front of the pole. Ask a veteran limbo champ (there's bound to be a few in your crowd) to demonstrate correct limbo posturing (chest and face bent back, aimed skyward). Then, while your DJ plays "Limbo Rock" and other island-flavored favorites, have each person limbo under the pole. After each round, the pole should be lowered. Eliminate those doing the limbo improperly and those who can't successfully make it beneath the pole. The winner, of course, is the last standing (or bending) contestant. How low can you go?
Star Search.
Ah. A chance for the hams in your group to come alive. Pick five contestants and ask them to each name a favorite singer. Have your DJ find a popular song from each of the chosen artists and instruct your players to "lip-sync" (mouth the words) to the songs. Encourage them to imitate the original performers' mannerisms and really put on a show. Include the rest of your guests by appointing all of them official contest judges. By the volume of their applause, they'll choose the winner.
Hot Potato.
This probably needs little explaining, but here goes - just in case you were absent that day in grammar school. Have as many contestants as possible form a circle. Inform everyone that when the music begins, they must pass the potato around the circle. When the music stops, the person holding the potato is out of the game. This continues until a single winner remains.
Musical Chairs.
An oldie, but always a goodie. Line up a row of chairs in the center of the dance floor, side-by-side with every other chair facing the opposite way. There should be one less chair than there are players. Ask that all participants form a circle around the chairs. As soon as the music begins, the players must continuously walk around the chairs. Your DJ will suddenly stop the music, at which point everyone must try and find a vacant chair. The person left standing is out. Remove a chair and do the same process again. Keep it up (remembering to take away a chair after each round) until there's only one chair and a single winner sitting in it. Don't be fooled into thinking this silly game is for kids only; adults are even more enthusiastic and intense about winning this contest than children - once you convince them to play.
Don't Make Me Laugh.
Is there a Jim Carrey or Jerry Seinfeld in the house? If you think you've got a couple of clowns in your bunch, this one can't miss. Each player has three minutes to make a table of judges laugh. The comics may use anything they can think of to accomplish this feat (props, people, etc.). It'll be a hoot.
