The holidays are almost gone and for most school districts next week is the inevitable return back to the classroom.  Teachers, sponsors and PTAs in Dallas, Ft. Worth, Arlington, Garland, Mesquite, Mansfield, Plano, Duncanville and all over the DFW Metroplex will be busy planning upcoming dances, formals and proms.

At DPD we believe in helping our schools increase ticket sales and the students having the best experience ever at any event we entertain.

This is a great article about Middle School dance themes that will be sure to please teachers, sponsors and PTAs.

Ahhh… Middle School Dances…

Middle school students are some of the most difficult to entertain.  We call them “tweens” because they aren’t in elementary but not in high school either.  At DPD we specialize in providing entertainment to the youth of Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex schools.  With our specialized marketing techniques, we can get your students EXCITED about attending fun activities and events at your school.

Here are some themes that you can use to spark enthusiasm for your next school dance.

You can choose one of these themes or create your own. Follow these tips with any theme to get students excited:

  • Recruit as many students as possible to plan, decorate and spread the word.
  • Make the dance area look cool and fun; we can show you some creative ways to do so.
