This party has its benefit like it will go on without making any noise, and you can play up to three music channels simultaneously. You can remix the old hits with the latest hits or something like 60’s classic.

Roller Disco Party

Skating was one of the most popular activities in the 1970s. It was a sport and a form of leisure activity in the past. But now, people have started throwing roller disco theme parties. For a roller disco party, you need to hire a skating rink. This idea is perfect for skaters. Today, the host will play eclectic music, from disco songs to almost any dance, pop, or rock. Guests can wear comfortable clothing like shorts, sweatpants, or athletic pants.

This party is a boozy brunch that kicks on and turns into a party once you’re done with meals. After that, the celebration begins with a vast collection of music and digger's delight.

Tropical Disco Party

The tropical disco party is perfect for after-wedding parties or engagements. Some hanging plants will cover the disco balls at the top, and some garlands on the table with a disco ball centerpiece. Bright green color shades and fun details will make the party pop. Shop for some tropical disco songs, and watch out for some discography videos.

Set the disco party mood with Studio 54 tunes and theme—it is another interpretation of a 70s party, but usually, it is more glamorous. Make your guests feel like they have entered the 70s era at the most glamorous nightclub in town. Think bling, mirror balls, gold sequin drapes, and crystal-beaded curtains to give the feel. Also, add some Studio 54 music like “Brick House” Commodores, “Love to Love You, Baby,” Donna Summer, “Funky Town” Lipps, “Le Freak” Chic, and many more.
