Jono Reeves is hoping to get people out the front door and on to the dance floor.
The Maungakaramea resident has started a local branch of his family's successful Auckland-based entertainment business - Going Bananas.
The 34-year-old entertainer and DJ, who moved to the district from Auckland last year with his UK-born wife Kim, wants to host community events where people feel welcome and have fun dancing.
"These events are to encourage others to get out and about, meet new people and welcome newbies to town," he said.
Mr Reeves recently organised a Country & Western themed community event in Maungakaramea and is working on a fun night out at the Northland Club for its members later this month.
