Hosting Charity Throwback Thursday Dance Nights

What is a Dance Party Throwback Thursday?

A Dance Party Throwback Thursday is a dance party where all the music is from a certain year (or years). Typically, the party will begin with music from the current year, then “move backwards” to end with music from the year when you were born. The event is named “Throwback Thursday” because that is the day people typically post about nostalgic things from the past. Most DPT events are themed around the music from a particular decade, like the '80s or the '90s. But you can also choose to focus on a certain genre of music, like country, punk rock, or rap.

Why host a Throwback Thursday event for charity?

The best reason to host a DPT event for charity is that it’s a fun event that can bring people together to help others. But it’s also a great way to engage with your local community while also building your resume. If you’re still in high school, hosting an event like this can be a great addition to your resume. You can use it to show potential employers that you are active in your community and interested in pursuing a career in event planning. Similarly, if you are in college, you can use your DPT event to demonstrate your leadership skills. You can also use it to apply for scholarships.

Who can benefit from your DPT event?

Dance Party Throwback Thursday events are often themed around music from a particular decade. So the event can benefit charities that support people who were young in the '80s, '90s, or other decades. For example, if your event is themed around the '80s, it can benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, which provides support for people with cystic fibrosis. The music from a certain decade can also be used to benefit people with other needs, like people who are blind or deaf. For example, if you choose to hold your event around '80s music, it can benefit the American Foundation for the Blind.

Deciding on a theme for your DPT event

The best way to decide on a theme for your DPT event is to pick a decade that resonates with you. If you are an '80s baby, you might want to choose that decade. If you grew up in the '90s, you might want to choose that decade. If you’re having a hard time deciding on a decade, you can also choose a theme based on music genre. You can choose a country music-themed DPT event, for example, or a punk rock DPT event. Try to avoid picking a theme that might cause you to run into issues with copyright laws. For example, a lot of older music is copyrighted and can’t be played in public venues. So if you decide to host a '70s Disco-themed DPT event, you might run into issues.

Finding the right music for your DPT event

If you’re looking for music from a particular decade, there are plenty of places online where you can find it. YouTube has tons of playlists from different decades, and websites like Pandora and Spotify have decade-themed radio stations. You can also find a lot of songs on Amazon’s website, just search for the song and see what decade it came out in. You can also choose to focus on a certain genre of music. Again, you can find lots of music on YouTube and on streaming services like Pandora and Spotify that fall into certain genres. If you’re having a hard time finding music, you can also ask somebody who grew up in that decade. Lots of people who lived through a certain decade have a lot of nostalgia for that music and might be willing to help you out.

Where and when to hold your DPT event

The best place to hold your DPT event depends on how many people you expect to attend. If you only expect a few people to attend, you can hold it in your own home. If you expect a larger crowd, you might want to rent out a space. If you want to do something outside, make sure you check with your city to see what the rules are. Some cities have restrictions on noise, so you might want to check with someone in city planning to make sure your event is legal. If you want to do something indoors, check with people you know to see if there are any event spaces that are free. You can also check with your schools to see if they have event spaces that are free and open to the public.

If you’re looking for a fun way to engage with your community and support a cause, hosting a DPT event is a great option.
