TikTok Dance Challenge Party Activities

Keep the energy high and the party moving with these fun TikTok-inspired activities:

1. TikTok Dance Challenge Contest

Activity: The main event of your party! Select a popular TikTok dance challenge (like the Renegade, Savage Love, or Say So challenge) and have a competition to see who performs the best version. Record everyone’s attempts and make it a fun, lighthearted contest with prizes for the best, funniest, or most creative performances.
Pro Tip: Have a panel of judges or allow guests to vote for the winners by clapping or using voting buttons.

2. TikTok Dance Tutorial Station

Activity: Set up a station with a TV or projector showing popular TikTok dance tutorials. Guests can take turns practicing their moves and then show off what they’ve learned to the group.
Pro Tip: Hire a dance instructor to teach the choreography or ask a TikTok dance expert to lead the group in a warm-up or tutorial!

3. Dance Battle

Activity: Organize a friendly dance battle where guests face off in pairs or groups to perform their best TikTok dance moves. Play popular TikTok songs and let the dance-offs begin!
Pro Tip: Set up a small stage with a “judging panel” or let the crowd vote by cheering, clapping, or using a live voting app.

4. TikTok Video Challenge

Activity: Set up a designated filming area with a tripod and ring light, and let guests record their best TikTok dance videos. Encourage them to post on TikTok with a custom hashtag for your event. You can even create a group challenge where everyone dances to the same song and uploads it!
Pro Tip: Create a fun event hashtag like #PartyWith[YourName] or #DanceChallengeNight so everyone can share and follow along.

5. TikTok Lip Sync Challenge

Activity: For those who may not want to dance, have a lip-sync challenge with popular TikTok songs. Guests can perform their best lip-sync and have the crowd vote for the winner.
Pro Tip: Pair this activity with glow-in-the-dark props or costumes to add extra flair to the performances!

TikTok Dance Challenge Party Food & Drinks

TikTok Dance Challenge Party Games

Keep your guests entertained with these exciting games:

Pro Tip: You can use video clips of the dances to help guests get a refresher on the moves!

2. TikTok Challenge Relay

Game: Split your guests into teams and create a relay race where each person has to perform a popular TikTok dance challenge before passing the baton to the next teammate.

TikTok Dance Challenge Party Planning Tips

Timing: A TikTok Dance Challenge Party works best in the evening and can last for 3-4 hours to allow plenty of time for dancing, food, and games.
Venue: This party works well in a spacious indoor setting, but if you're outdoors, ensure you have a projector or screen for dance tutorials and a dance area with good lighting.
Tech Setup: Make sure you have a good sound system, projectors, or large screens for showing dance tutorials, and plenty of space for guests to move around and film their TikTok videos.
Social Media Engagement: Encourage guests to use a specific hashtag for the event so they can share their TikTok moments online. You can also create a TikTok challenge hashtag to keep the fun going after the party.
