Things to consider when planning a barn dance. Number of People You really want at least 16 people dancing at any one time to make the most of a barn dance. The most amount of people you can have is determined by the size of the venue. There is no age limit so people of all ages can join in. All that is required is the ability to follow a few simple instructions and enjoy oneself.Venue Make sure your venue is suitable for dancing. A rectangular space with no obstructions is ideal. If people can be seated near the dance area that is also good. Try and avoid having people sitting and drinking in a separate room because they may not be encouraged to dance. If you must have a marquee in the Spring or Autumn make sure you have the option of heating it. Food break If you’re going to have food make sure there is a proper food break. If not you may find it difficult to get enough people up and dancing at the same time because too many people will be eating. Time Make sure that you have a clear start time so that everyone arrives at the same time ensuring that the dancing can start as soon as possible. Contact details Make sure you have the band contact details to hand and that the band can contact you as well. Band Remember to pay the band! |
