The event is for youth aged 13 to 18 years and is "safe for kids to go along and dance with their mates".
It is an alcohol and drug free event, he said.
He said it was like a social dance "but one that's open to the public, not tied to a certain school".
"When I was in high school there weren't too many events for kids that age."
He said they were "just trying to give them what we never had and a bit of fun".
"It's cool and a bit different."
There would also be licensed security guards at the dance, he said.
He said local radio station Flava were supporting the event and after speaking to the venue they were looking to do another event later in the year, if this one went well.
Tickets are available from www.ticketmaster.co.nz and cost $15 for general admission or $25 for VIP tickets.
Mr MacKenzie-Hooper said the VIP tickets gave people access to the photo booth and a free drink from V.
They were looking to sell between 250 and 300 tickets for the Rotorua event, he said.
