If there are a lot of dancers at your party, hold the next competition. Prepare recordings of music of various genres, such as lambada and hip-hop, in advance. Divide the participants into two teams. Let each team listen to their music, then explain the task: team members need to choreograph an original dance in five minutes to the music they heard. The team that got the lambada dances the tango, and those who got the hip-hop dance the waltz. The main condition: all team members must be involved in the dance. The winner is chosen by the audience.
Bullseye
Who doesn’t know these famous couplets “Oh, apple, where are you going? You’ll get into my mouth, won’t you come back!”? Many people know the famous sailor dance “Apple”. Invite the stronger sex to perform this dance to the music. Their performance will be assessed by a special jury, represented exclusively by women. The participant who performs the dance more cheerfully and gracefully than others becomes the winner of this dance competition. As a prize, you can give the winner a red apple.
African dances
Let this competition become a little trip for you to hot Africa. To hold it, you will have to work a little and create the right atmosphere: place a symbolic fire in the middle of the room, distribute beads to the participants. Then divide all participants into pairs. All other guests will become members of the jury, who will have to evaluate the dances of the participants. Play African folk music to which your couples can perform impromptu African dances. The participants of the pair selected by the jury members become the winners of the competition.
Fairy-tale heroes
This game can be played even with the youngest children. They are divided into pairs, after which each child draws lots for himself a card with the name of some famous fairy-tale character. The couple’s task is to prepare and then dance in front of everyone the dance of meeting these heroes, even if they are from different fairy tales.
Example cards: Little Red Riding Hood, Gray Wolf, Hunter, Cinderella, Fox, Snow White, Dwarf, Koschey the Immortal, Mouse, Frog Princess, Thumbelina, Old Man Hottabych, Kolobok, Dunno, Chamomile, Elena the Beautiful, Cipollino, Tsokotukha Fly, Old Spider , Mowgli, Panther Bagheera, Alice, Pinocchio, Malvina, Pierrot, poodle Artemon, Karabas-Barabas, Firebird, Little Humpbacked Horse, Winnie the Pooh, Piglet.

Sample cards: Kukoryambochka, Wizard of the Forest, Spirit of the Well, Brambrulyak, Countess Manya, mysterious deities of Africa, Asia, India, etc.
French passions
Argentina is undoubtedly the birthplace of tango, but in France this dance was transformed, absorbing the spirit of French fiery love. For the French, not only the expression of the dance is important, but also the graceful performance. This competition will require several couples, but let the women choose their own partners. Then, to the music, the selected couples dance tango, and the audience (preferably a male audience) evaluates which of the women is more graceful in the dance. It is she who becomes the winner of the competition.
The Tale of Rodnichka
Each child is given a card with a role (one of the characters in the fairy tale) as well as time to prepare their dance. After this, all the children sit in one part of the hall, and the other becomes the hall. The leader of the game begins to read the fairy tale, calling those children whose roles appear in the action to dance. Thus, a common fairy tale in dancing is obtained.
Example of a fairy tale:
“One early morning the SUN came out and illuminated the DESERT. In this desert there were many, many FLOWERS, CACTi AND PALM TREES. There lived a BUTTERFLY. She was very hot and thirsty all the time. Then the butterfly went in search of water. At this time, a CLOUD was flying across the sky. And the butterfly asked her to make it rain. The cloud agreed and many, many droplets flew to the ground...
But suddenly the WIND blew! He blew away the rain further and the butterfly could not drink. And a SNAKE appeared ahead! The butterfly asked her where to fly and the snake showed her the way. After a while, the butterfly saw real green TREES and BRUBS! And among them flowed a clear and young stream.
The butterfly got drunk and everything ended well!
Cards: Sun, Desert, Flower, Cactus, Palm Tree, Butterfly, Cloud, a few Droplets, Wind, Snake, Tree, Bush, Stream.

The game continues until all the items are worn by the participants.

An expanding dance, or everyone is dancing!
A chair is placed in the middle of the room and a guy sits on it. Two girls stand behind him, and each puts her hand on his shoulder. The guy, without looking, takes one of the girls by the hand and they go dancing. The remaining girl sits on a chair and the guys walk around, stand behind the girl, and she takes the hand of one of the guys and they also go to dance. Everything continues until all the guests are on the dance floor.
Sirtaki in Russian
All guests must be lined up in two lines: male and female, facing each other. It is advisable that there are at least 10 people in each line. Everyone holds each other's hands, bent at the elbow. To the music of the Greek dance sirtaki (at first it is not very fast), at the command of the leader, the male line takes three steps forward and bows, then takes three steps back. And then the line of women also takes three steps forward, makes the same bow and returns to their place three steps back.
Thus, two ranks, having completed the simplest dance movement, return to their places.
- bow
- turn 180 degrees
- right foot stomp
- left foot stomp
- jump (bouncing)
- friendly male “Eh!” and in response a mischievous female “Uh-uh!”
The chain of movements, which are done by men and women in turn, should result in the following: 3 steps forward - bow - 3 steps back; 3 steps forward - turn around - 3 steps back; 3 steps forward - stomp with your right foot - 3 steps back; 3 steps forward - stomp with your left foot - 3 steps back; 3 steps forward - jump - 3 steps back; 3 steps forward - “Eh!”, “Uh-uh” - 3 steps back.
Having performed the movements, they must be repeated in the same sequence, first, but only at an accelerated pace, and then at an even more accelerated pace. The leader needs to help the dancers and suggest movement commands, then the result will be a well-coordinated, fast and lively dance.
Dance with tasks
Everyone dances, the music stops every now and then and the leader gives some commands, for example:
- We greet each other, shout “Hello”!
- Let's jump up to see who's higher!
- Let's clap our hands!
- Let's wave our arms!
- We're spinning like snowflakes!
- sway your hips!
- We shout: “Happy New Year!” and etc.
Dance medley
Any number of people can participate in this dance competition, but only in pairs (M+F). It is necessary to record about 8-10 different musical compositions in advance (this could be: lambada, waltz, polka, tango, dance of little ducklings, rock and roll, boogie-woogie, etc.) and play them one by one. The contestants' task is to quickly switch from one music to another. At the end of the competition, the best couple is determined by audience applause. You can choose the best dancers in each individual dance type.
Musical dialogue
Two teams play (it’s more interesting when men play against women). The first team begins to sing, performing a line, verse or chorus of a song where there is some question, for example: “Well, where are you, girls, girls, girls, short skirts, skirts, skirts?” The second team must perform an answer to this song, for example: “Where the maple rustles over the river wave...” and ask their question. You cannot repeat previously played songs. The game continues at the discretion of the host - as long as the players are excited. The process of coming up with questions and answers is very interesting!
Dance competitions at a party are a great way to get the crowd going and entertain everyone invited. The celebration doesn't have to be limited to a feast, but if the dance floor with glowing balls is still empty, try to get employees out of the table with the help of dance competitions.
Incendiary dances will add fun to any holiday, be it New Year, March 8, or a company’s birthday. Movement to music brings a lot of positivity and lifts your spirits. And if there is a prize for a dance, the dancers become competitive.

Script text
Presenter: Dear guests, I am sure that many sitting in this room have watched the entertaining television program about travel “Heads and Tails” at least a couple of times. Today we will borrow the principle of this transfer into our game. We will give the opportunity to an ordinary coin to make choices and find those who are luckier than others. But in addition to the usual coin with a reverse (tails) and obverse (heads), we will invite a man and a woman who will symbolize two sides of the same coin, or rather coin. The hero of the occasion (celebrant of the day, boss, newlyweds, etc.) will help us choose Eagle and Tails. Dear I.O., from all those present, you need to choose the two most danceable, lively ones, those who, in your opinion, would easily win in the “Disco Dancer” nomination.
The hero of the occasion chooses a Man and a Woman. The presenter asks them to introduce themselves......

Round Dance of Nations
Before the start of the dance part of this fun competition at the party, the host should talk about the greeting traditions of different nations. When meeting, Norwegians shake hands, the French hug, the Chinese fold their palms as if praying, the Yakuts rub their noses, and the Russians kiss three times.
The guests of the holiday form a circle, and inside it - another one. Two circles should move to the music in different directions. As soon as the melody ends, the presenter says the name of the country, and the participants who are opposite each other must depict the appropriate greeting. There are no winners in this game, but everyone can have a lot of fun.
When to hold dance competitions at a wedding?
At a wedding, dance competitions help to liberate guests and create a fun holiday atmosphere.
But you shouldn’t start the banquet right away with active entertainment. Guests should get comfortable, get used to each other and, of course, have a snack.
The first moving competition is usually held no earlier than 30 minutes after serving cold appetizers. Then active games alternate with calm, table games.
Energetic music plays well during the break between serving dishes while guests are waiting.
It is inappropriate to start playing games immediately after being treated to hot dishes or dessert. You definitely need to wait half an hour.
Wedding competitions in the form of dances are well suited to complete the entertainment program, but it is desirable that they be calm and measured.
Dancing with a mop
This festive dance game involves an odd number of people. The two teams must stand in the order of man/woman. The one who is left without a pair receives a mop or some other object.
The music turns on and everyone starts dancing. As soon as it stops speaking, each participant changes pairs. The one who danced with the mop throws the tool and grabs the first dancer he comes across. And again someone is left without a partner, so he will have to dance himself. Spectators and participants of the competition receive a lot of positive emotions during the game.
Have you ever been to a party where there was no dancing? Yes, without dancing, a holiday is not a holiday. Guests especially want to dance somewhere after 3-4 toasts, when the blood has warmed up. And to help them, and at the same time have fun. We invite you to play dance competitions. These competitions are definitely suitable for a cheerful group of people. They will play with interest and get maximum pleasure. Take a look and choose the best ones.
The competition is a journey through musical countries.
Every country has its own music. And in each country they dance to their own music in a special way. In this competition, your guests will also dance to the music of different countries. For example, under Georgian, under French and under Polish. Everything is simple here: certain music is turned on and the guests dance. Whoever dances the best wins a prize.
By the way! This competition can be used to introduce guests. For example, ask: are there any guests with Polish roots in the hall? Or maybe there are those whose distant ancestors were once in Poland? There are such? Come out to my music! And then the national Polish melody comes on. And you do this with all the guests, just change your words so as not to repeat yourself.
Competition – dance with body parts.
Don't be alarmed, there is nothing criminal here. On the contrary, it is a fun competition and the guests will love it. Couples participate in the competition: a boy and a girl. They dance as they usually dance a slow dance. But there is one thing! – when the song starts, they must put each other’s hands in the place about which the song is sung. For example: - well, where are your hands, where are your hands (that means your hands should be on your hands) - Russia is dancing, and Europe is crying, and I have the best butt (here I put my hands on each other’s butt) There are a lot of songs about body parts. Choose those that suit your company.
Competition - repeat after me.
All guests participate in this competition. They stand on one side, and the leader on the other. To the accompaniment of cheerful and catchy music, the presenter makes the first movement. Then everyone repeats it together. Next, the presenter shows the first and second movements. The guests repeat all this to the music. Next, the leader repeats the first and second movements and adds a third. And the guests repeat all this to the music. And so on until there are 5-7 dance movements. Afterwards, the presenter can change and show his movements to his own music.
Competition - characters from films.
We all watch movies, and there are heroes in movies. For example, these are: cowboys, machos, bandits, sailors, and so on. Call 4-7 men on stage. They decide by lot. Who plays what role? The men go into another room. The music turns on and the hero comes out. If a cowboy song comes on, a cowboy comes out. If it’s a bandit, then it’s a bandit, and so on. And they don’t just go out, but dance to their music. After all the dancing, ask the other guests to say who played what role. And you reward the best actor with a prize.
Competition – oriental dances.
For the competition you need girls, for example 4-6 girls. They go with you to another room and there they put on oriental clothes: a scarf, a bandage on the face and a bandage on the waist. An oriental melody is turned on and the girl comes out in an oriental dance. After dancing for a minute or two, the girls invite the men to dance with them. Those men who agreed leave. During the dances, girls must quickly hand over their oriental clothes to the men. That is, take off your scarf and tie it to the man and do the same with other items of clothing. When the men are dressed up, the girls leave and the men continue the dance.
The competition is a musical umbrella.
As you may have guessed, you need an umbrella. You attach beautiful pieces of paper to it with the names of the dances written on them: Lezginka, tango, lambada, and so on. Each dance twice. All guests stand in a circle and the music turns on. The guests dance and pass an umbrella to each other. As soon as the music stops, whoever has an umbrella in his hand tears off any one card. And the game continues. When all the cards are in the hands of the guests. Then the rest take their places. And those with cards play further. And then you need to find your partner and dance your dance with her.

Rope for the brave
This is a competition exclusively for adults. The guests are divided into two equal teams.
At the driver’s signal and to the accompaniment of lively music, the players take off parts of their clothes in order to knit a long, very long rope from them.
When “Stop!” sounds, the visibly undressed participants begin to measure the length of their clothing chains.
The longest one wins!
Let's dress up for the New Year! or “Dark Outfit”
Two participants stand near their chest/box/basket, which contain different items of clothing.
They are first blindfolded, and then they must put on everything from the chest as quickly as possible. Speed and accuracy are valued. Although everyone has more fun because things get mixed up between the players.
Reverse Snow Queen
Inventory: ice cubes from the freezer.
Several contenders are selected for the crown of the Snow Queen. They pick up an ice cube and, on command, must melt it as quickly as possible, turning it into water.
You can give one at a time, or several ice cubes, putting them in bowls.
The first one to complete the task wins. She is awarded the title of "The Hottest Snow Queen".
The winner can be given a prize - a glass with the appropriate inscription. You can order it here (do not forget to enter the year and inscription when ordering).
Will Cinderella go to the New Year's ball?
In front of the two participants, mixed beans, peppers, rose hips, and peas are placed in a heap on plates (you can use any ingredients). The number of grains is small so that the game does not flow for too long (can be checked experimentally before the holiday).
After the players are blindfolded, they begin to sort the fruits into piles by touch. Whoever manages it first will go to the ball!
The best New Year gift ideas for women. If you haven’t ordered gifts for your employees yet, it’s time to choose!
