Setting Up Your Space
January 30, 2026

The right layout can make a huge difference to your party vibe. Here’s a quick guide I use every time I host a mobile disco in Melbourne or a mobile kids disco for birthday parties in Melbourne:


  • Dance Zone: Clear of tables and chairs, with enough space to move freely. Add disco lights and fog to boost the energy!
  • Snack Station: Keep it away from the dance area to avoid spills. I recommend simple finger food and water bottles.
  • Chill-Out Space: Add beanbags or soft mats for kids who need a sensory break. Quiet zones are magic for helping kids reset.


Having distinct spaces keeps things calm, controlled, and fun for everyone.

Jitter Bug Discos isn’t just music and flashing lights — it’s a full experience designed for children. I don’t just play songs; I run the entire event like a show: welcoming kids, running games, leading dances, giving out glow stick prizes, and reading the vibe to keep things just right.


With a background in working with kids and neurodiverse groups, I make sure every event is inclusive, safe, and full of joy — for the kids and the adults. That’s why parents and schools choose our professional children’s party DJs in Melbourne and mobile kids disco services for birthday parties and school discos.
