What the Dance provides the set-up for a successful dance party at your college. Emphasizing a community-oriented approach to live entertainment, we focus on creating spaces where students can unwind with their friends and meet new ones. With our network of DJs across the country, there is no need to worry about keeping up with all the song requests from your students. They keep the night alive, flowing through sets inspired by one of our themes.

We have themed dance nights for everyone including, One Direction, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Britney Spears, Beyonce, and more! Take a look below at all of our Dance Themes and contact us if you have any special theme requests. Our specialty is building a party that caters to your wishes; unique ideas are encouraged!

Make it a Silent Dance Party when you add Silent Disco to your event!
