The Challenge: A Luxury Experience Out of Reach
In early 2022, I noticed a gap in the event entertainment market here in Jordan. The 360° Video Booth—a technology that captures people in an immersive 360-degree spin—was only available at high-budget events. These setups were expensive, inaccessible to the majority of event organizers, and reserved for exclusive gatherings. This limitation didn’t sit right with me. Event entertainment, I believed, should be joyful, inclusive, and accessible to all, regardless of budget. But creating an affordable version posed a serious challenge. How could we provide a high-quality, tech-forward experience that was also affordable enough for everyday events?
Our Solution: Making 360° Experiences Affordable for All
At 360 Dance Frame, we decided to build our 360° Video Booth experience from scratch. By designing and assembling our own booths, we cut out the high costs associated with imported, commercial models. This approach allowed us to keep our costs low and set a price of just 5 JDs per experience. Suddenly, our booth became something people could enjoy at weddings, birthdays, corporate gatherings, and community festivals—not just luxury events.
Crafting Unique, Engaging Services for All Types of Events
Beyond the 360° Video Booth, we diversified our offerings to provide a variety of fun, interactive services that could cater to different types of events and budgets. Each service was chosen not only for its uniqueness but also for its ability to enhance any celebration:
- 360° Video Booth – Our flagship service where guests can dance, pose, and capture every angle in an energetic, fully rotational video, perfect for sharing on social media.
- Magic Mirror Photo Booth – An interactive mirror that lets guests add text, drawings, and effects to their photos, delivering both digital and printed keepsakes.
- Swing Wings Instant Photos – A visually striking photo station with artistic wings, ideal for selfies and group photos that give an instant “wow” factor.
- Fast Tattoo Service – Temporary tattoos that are quick, safe, and fun, offering guests a playful memory to take with them.
By offering a range of services at different price points, we created options that appeal to a wide variety of clients, from young families to corporations, helping us meet the entertainment needs of almost any event.
Problem Solving in Real-Time: Adapting to Unique Event Spaces
Another challenge we face regularly is adapting our services to different venues. Every location brings its own set of requirements—some are large, open spaces perfect for multiple booths, while others are small and intimate, needing compact setups. To solve this, our approach is highly customized:
- Weddings are often ideal for the 360° Video Booth, which adds a cinematic, memorable experience that’s perfect for couples and guests alike.
- Corporate Events benefit from the professional polish of our Magic Mirror Photo Booth, which provides an interactive yet sophisticated experience.
- Children’s Parties are perfectly suited for the Swing Wings Instant Photos and Fast Tattoo Services, keeping the young guests entertained and engaged.
Our team conducts a thorough assessment of each venue before the event, making sure that our setups don’t interfere with the natural flow of the space. Whether it’s securing an outdoor booth from the elements or ensuring stable power sources, our adaptability is key to delivering seamless experiences.
Empowering the Team: Building a Culture of Initiative and Growth
Another challenge was how to create a strong, reliable team that could deliver these services with professionalism and enthusiasm. We hire mostly young people between 18 and 30 years old—individuals with energy, creativity, and a desire to grow. But working in events can be demanding, requiring both technical skills and great customer service.
Our solution is to empower our team with clear, growth-focused contracts and training:
- Flexible Contracts – Our team members receive fair pay with a combination of salary and commission, incentivizing them to go above and beyond. Contracts are designed to support both stability and personal growth, encouraging team members to take pride in their work.
- Work Rules and Training – We emphasize respect, responsibility, and professionalism in our work rules. Our training covers everything from equipment handling to client interaction, ensuring that our team feels confident and capable. We also foster a growth mindset, allowing team members to experiment with new roles and improve their skills over time.
Our team’s commitment shines through at each event, and our supportive work culture has led to high employee satisfaction and outstanding customer service.
Enriching Experiences with Custom Music and Memorable Themes
Another challenge we identified was ensuring that each service was not only fun but also deeply engaging. To keep our experiences fresh and relevant, we created our own 360 Dance Frame song library, with tracks that cater to different event vibes:
- Romantic Moments – Songs like “360 Love Story” set a heartfelt, intimate tone for couples.
- High-Energy Celebrations – Tracks like “Spin It Up!” create a lively, party-ready atmosphere.
- Empowerment Anthems – Songs such as “Content Queens” resonate with influencers and social media lovers.
By using custom music that reflects the theme of the event, we enhance the overall experience, creating memorable moments that are perfectly tailored to each setting.
Looking Forward: Expanding Accessibility and Innovation
360 Dance Frame has expanded rapidly, now present at prime locations across Aqaba, including Ayla Marina, Aqaba Gateway, and the Arab Revolt Flagpole. Our future goal is to make these immersive, interactive experiences accessible across Jordan and eventually to other countries in the region. We are exploring franchising opportunities and collaborating with event organizers, aiming to transform how people experience celebrations.
We’re driven by a clear mission: to provide everyone, from children at a birthday party to couples at their wedding, with the chance to capture joy and share their stories. By continuing to innovate and adapt, 360 Dance Frame is redefining event entertainment and creating a lasting impact on our community.
