Disco

The age range that we can entertain is from 4yrs (with plenty of willing helpers) up to the late teens.
During our 4yrs to 12yrs age disco sessions we try to fully capture the attention of the kids and run a party-style that encourages joining in, just playing songs to this age group will not work.
For us to do games keep the numbers to under 40 and have a function hall long enough to line up in 2 teams.

On older kids disco’s we can take the Karaoke machine along and this has modern songs with it - we can project the graphics & words onto the wall, using this helps to keep them in the hall - usually once they start having a go they all want to try - we use 2 or 3 microphones with 2 kids sharing a mic so we can have up to 6 children at a time singing.
With the older children we take music requests and run more like an adult or youth club disco.

You will need a small mixed bag of simple sweets (no lollipops) ie: jelly haribo for younger kids or mixed chocs for older children - nothing expensive is required as it is not needed.
Keep drinks available the kids get hot - it is like an aerobic session for them!
When you do your food - keep it simple to avoid taking it all home again! Kids will only eat simple picky food at a disco.

It is advisable when booking a childrens party to have a good mix of boys to girls ratio. Boys on their own can be very difficult parties to run - whereas with a good mix you tend to get a good entertaining disco party.
(We do not usually undertake boys only disco’s)
Also try to keep the age range fairly close where possible -
Due to the very active nature of our disco parties if you mix bigger older kids with smaller younger kids it can make it difficult to keep a safe eye on the tiny ones unless you have plenty of willing helpers.
On the younger disco’s - Make sure anyone that has agreed to help you with running the party is actually
willing to join in on the day - any time we have to spend persuading a reluctant mum or dad
to hold a few hands or make a circle of little people - is time wasted not entertaining the children.

We do a 2 hour disco on normal pre-teen birthday parties. (this is long enough for them to maintain their full attention)
With 4 - 12yrs this comprises of -
45 minute first session, we usually do all of the movement songs ie; Cha Cha Slide, Macarena etc
20/30 minutes for your food, drink & your birthday cake (not provided by the disco) this also cools the kids down a bit.
Then another 45 minutes second session, we usually do team games and more disco dancing etc. to the finish time.
We are actively out on the dancefloor with the children all of the time during the sessions.

Steph and Adrian are both Advanced Level CRB cleared children’s entertainers.
You normally get 2 entertainers for the quoted price (although this may not always be possible).
We also undertake school & youth club disco’s etc - Timings and schedules for these can be different to the above.
Teenage disco’s can be for up to 3 hours depending on the situation when your requirements are discussed.

NOTE - Sunday disco’s available any time from midday onwards but midweek are usually after 5pm
If you are on a budget & want to keep the price down book your childrens party on a Sunday or Mid-week - you will need to do this if you are booking ahead & want the kids party price deal. Friday & Saturday nights are only available at a lower kids price if booked within a couple of weeks of the date required - otherwise it would cost the full adult price for the disco.
