Who doesn't love a kid's disco? All you need to get the party started is a great playlist!
The music theme can be funk, disco or soul or the repetitive ear worm "Baby Shark". Basically, anything which gets kid's feet tapping, arms moving and makes them feel happy.
Kids disco party songs vary from the old classics like; "Boogie Wonderland" by Earth Wind and Fire to more recent songs like "Roar" by Katy Perry. When planning a disco party playlist, it's good to appeal to all tastes and that way, you can guarantee you'll get everyone up on the dance floor.
Music Streaming Apps
In days gone by, you would pop along to your local record shop and pick your album. Although this is still possible, it's more likely you will be streaming your music directly on to your phone or tablet.
Perfect for tailor-making your playlist from, you can use apps such as iTunes. Amazon Music, or Spotify.
If the party is for very young kids make sure the songs are "child friendly" and not using inappropriate lyrics. Usually, "unsuitable" content, will be flagged up with a "parent advisory" warning, issued by the recording industry.
Remember, to play great music there doesn't always have to be a party. You can just bob around your living room and dance like nobody's watching!
Grab your dancing shoes and enjoy our tried and tested disco party playlist for kids:
