If you have any children that are in ballet, a dance recital is a great way for them to show off. Give the parents of your students an update by posting visual updates on Vimeo. You can spice things up by suggesting that they have a fun theme with each dance recital.
Help raise funds for your school dance with a fundraiser. I like to have them sell cookies. Have also could have the students pay for a bowl of ice cream. Another great idea is to sell flowers, but deliver them at the school dance.
A few weeks before the day of the school dance, get a group of students together to do a dance off. Consider using senior males. Three dancing groups are enough for this. A funny dance should be prepared, so everyone has a good laugh. Use a Lady Gaga song, and dress them up in meat dresses. At the assembly on the day before the dance, have them perform.
My last dance recital had a theme based upon the Iliad, and we had the students dress up as a one eyed giant. Another great theme is Humpty Dumpty, and you could have the kids wear egg costumes. Jack and the Bean Stalk was one that we put on last year, and the kids loved dressing up as Jack. Tinkerbelle is one that the little girls love to dress up as.
Dance recitals are very interesting if you pick a theme everyone is interested in, and one of those themes is international culture from around the world. These distant lands have great costumes, and you will want to include them in your recital. At the dance recital that we featured the Mexican culture, we invited many Mexicans to come and teach us their dances. The ethnic music is a big plus, and your students will thank you for introducing them to it.
A beauty pageant is an idea that you could use to spice up your school dance. On the assembly day of the dance, put it on. Pick form the students who are on the government of the school. Then for the emcee, you have the females do it. Line dancing would be a good activity for them to do at the assembly. I like to have someone play the piano and have everyone sing along. Allow students to vote on the pageant winner.
Prepare engaging activities to get your students worked up about doing some line dances at school. If your school dance parties are slow and people do not show up, then you should think about some activities. Encourage student participation at your dances. A side benefit could be that the activity helps raise money for the dance.
Easter is another holiday that is great as a theme. If you look on YouTube, you will see our kids dancing in Christmas outfits. St. Patrick's Day dancers might perform to Celtic music, if you pick this theme. On Christmas, you could use some standard Christmas music, as it works very well for dance recitals. Take out your calendar and schedule the next dance recital, make sure to set them near the holidays.
