What is a FOAM PARTY?
You might think foam is made from water and soap, so I am going to get all cold and wet and sticky. Not so, although your clothes will get damp you will not feel cold when you are in the foam, it will keep you warm.
Normally at a Foam Party the foam will not start for a few hours to let everyone get in party mood. Then the foam machine or foam cannons are turned on covering everyone with foam and filling the dance area to about 1.2 metres deep. the foam cannons usually spray a thick jet of foam upto 8m into the dance area, they are moved side to side to cover everyone. A foam machine will pour masses of foam down onto the dance floor or in the foam pit, it may move along slowly.
After the foam level has dropped more foam will be added covering everyone up again. This may happen several times depending on how quick the foam goes down. Towards the end of the party as the foam level drops to about 20cm or so some people will spend time rolling around on the floor. In the cas of the foam pit the participants will have a great time slipping and sliding across the foam pit from cushioned wall to wall
The foam will vary from party to party, some will have quite light and fluffy foam while others will be thicker and some will be very thick. The thicker foams will cling to you more and will probably last longer.
The most important thing about foam parties is that everyone who goes to one has loads of fun and enjoys the experience, however crazy it sounds! If you haven't tried it at least once you haven't lived and should find the nearest one to you and get in there and have fun.
What to wear
Obviously you don't wear you very best clothes, they won't be ruined but you may get some water marks on some materials. Be prepared , if you are expecting to go to a foam party take your costume and if possible bring along a pair of eye goggles. Extra clothing is always a good idea and also please dont forget your towel.
