Consider the location. Before you choose a dance party theme or decorations you must take into account where the party is being held. Is it a low key party being thrown in someone's basement for teenagers? Or is it a larger event held in a public venue like a country club or ballroom? The size of the room helps you determine the amount of supplies you will need to decorate and gives you an idea of which décor would be appropriate.

Examine the party guests. As important as the dance party venue are the guests who will be attending. Are the guests children? If so, look for décor that is appropriate to their likes and dislikes. For instance, according to Chiff.com, the most popular current kids' paraphernalia focuses on Harry Potter, Hannah Montana and High School Musical. Therefore, a dance party that evokes these images will definitely receive notice.

Think of a theme. Themes tend to make decorating significantly easier because it allows you to narrow all of your décor into a single category. Again, choose a theme that is appropriate for the venue and the guests. Themes can be either very specific or very loose. A 1980's theme encompasses all kinds of images --- from hot pink streamers to leg warmers. A more specific theme might embody the yellow brick road from "The Wizard of Oz."

Make a decoration list. After you've chosen a theme do not run right out and start buying stuff. Take time to plan your decorations according to the venue. If you decided on an Underwater theme how will you set it all up? Are there rafters to hang strings with plastic fish and seaweed or is the ceiling too high? Can you sprinkle the floor with green and blue sparkles or will it be a hazard for the dancers? Before you purchase any decorations, take these factors into account.

Get Decorating. After you have purchased the pre-planned decorations, make sure to get any extras you might need to hang or attach items. Remember to bring a ladder or friends along if the venue is large or if you will need help. It might be a good idea to bring tape, string or fish line, and push pins, just in case. Also remember to decorate an area for the music --- whether you're using a radio or a DJ station, this area should follow your overall theme.
