There are many issues which determine whether or not a dance floor is packed. Through our years of playing for many crowds of all ages, some insight can be offered on creating a packed dance floor. In most cases, the music played is the most influential factor. Reading the crowd and basing the music choices accordingly usually are enough. This often includes playing to the age range of your guests. Of course, working with clients on the ideal playlists for their events helps greatly as well. Adapting on the fly while performing, And We Danced modifies event playlists for songs that better encourage dancing if things are slowing down. Requests are highly recommended, as those guests who request songs will almost always bring others onto the dance floor when their song is played.
With this tried and true methodology, packing the dance floor can sometimes remain a challenge. There are some crowds that do not like to dance. Even so, these crowds clearly can enjoy themselves with the music being played. Dancing in a brightly lit room also limits the number of guests on the dance floor. People just enjoy dancing much more in a dimly lit room. Our dance floor lighting also looks much more dramatic in a darker room. If the room is too bright, arrangements will be made with the venue to dim the lights. Of course, this solution is not as feasible at an outdoor event.
The size of the dance floor with respect to the venue size also affects the dance floor crowd size. Too large of a dance floor can spread the energy out too much, reducing the excitement level. Having your guests dance on a more suitably sized dance floor increases the “energy density” of the event. The energy on the dance floor is always higher with the dancers packed closer together.
Events that precede a weekday present challenges to packing the dance floor. Since guests may not want to party as hard if they have to rise early for work the next day, this may translate into fewer people on the dance floor. In many cases, alcoholic beverages enable your guests to “let their guard down” and hit the dance floor when they otherwise would not. If alcoholic beverages are being served at your event, guests may not partake as much of it if they work the next day, also affecting the number of dancers on the dance floor.
One way to keep the dance floor packed is to include a healthy dose of slow songs in playlists. Those who may not like to boogie down may respond favorably to a slow dance or two. And We Danced usually plays a couple of slow songs in between much longer sets of high energy dance music. Not only does this pull other dancers onto the dance floor, it allows the high energy dancers to take a much needed break.
At weddings, if the bride and groom hit the dance floor for a large portion of the reception, their guests will follow. In the same way, if the bride and groom spend a great deal of time outside the reception or at the bar, their guests will do the same. Brides and grooms having a blast on the dance floor introduce an infectious desire for all to have the same fun.
And We Danced DJ Entertainment does our best to keep the dance floor packed and succeeds in most cases by playing awesome music for the audience of your event. Including music from many decades and genres has proven to be a successful formula to allow most event guests to have time on the dance floor. By participating in our event planning process, your vision and guidance will be met with our experience for a truly fine event with a packed dance floor! #AndWeDancedDJs
