Great dance ideas for 2011
Prom is a rite of passage for all high school students. The attendees can’t wait to show off their elegant formal wear and the school is always surprised with the hot new couples that will attend. One of the most fun ways to participate in a prom is to help determine the theme. The class running the event puts a lot of time and effort into creating a theme like no other.
Everyone feels like a superstar when they attend prom, which makes a Hollywood theme very appropriate. Attendees walk through ground-level spotlights on the red carpet, while onlookers comment on their outfits and take photos. The evening may even follow the schedule of a Hollywood awards show, with submissions for categories like Best Dressed and Most Passionate Kiss. Awards can be presented on stage to winners, who can then give acceptance speeches.
High school students are too young to legally gamble, but that doesn’t stop them from selecting a casino theme. This turns prom into an event, allowing everyone to play some table games or slots. Event companies rent the tables and machines necessary to make this night a success. Between playing, eating and dancing, everyone will have so much fun that they will want to repeat this theme.
An air of intrigue is fun, so consider a masquerade theme. The girls can still dress up in their favorite party dresses, but they and the boys will need to add decorative masks to their outfit. Skins range from basic to ornate and come in hundreds of color combinations and styles. Choosing the mask becomes as much fun as choosing the dress or tuxedo. Attendees will spend the whole night trying to figure out each other’s identities, and a guessing contest makes things even more fun.
Another popular option is to design a theme around a city or a place like the ocean or a garden. When a city is the selected theme, everyone can dress up in appropriate clothing. Girls can wear flowery dresses for a garden-themed prom or blue or green to match an ocean theme. The elaborate decorations made by the planning committee will transform the room into another land.
Other great theme ideas include songs, movies, books, and plays. Think carefully about the theme of the prom because it is something that everyone will remember forever. When you find the perfect theme, get creative with decor, food choices, and favors. Go as elaborate as the budget allows, as this should see tickets sell out well in advance.
