Just before winter break, we DJed a school dance to give students a chance to celebrate the last day of school. Here are a few photos from that dance:

The dance was full of energy as all the students were ecstatic to be finished with exams and were ready for a few weeks off from classes.

We thought that things might be a little different because this dance was in the morning, but that was not the case. The teachers covered up the windows to make it darker in the gym to create a dance-like atmosphere. Requests were average and we were able to play almost all the songs requested plus the latest in top 40 as well as classic pop/hip-hop songs to get students dancing. As this was a middle school, we also played the icebreakers such as Cha Cha Slide, Macarena, and Cupid Shuffle. You know you’re doing a good job when the teachers start dancing!

One of our favorite types of event to DJ are sweet 16 birthday parties. These events can vary in size, and for the most part the guests are excited and ready to dance!

The music is similar to school dances, but we read the crowd and see how they respond to songs. Also, we take requests for specific songs or genres in advance, so we are prepared and able to provide the highest level of service possible.

Enjoy these photos from recent sweet 16s (more on the way next week!):

October was packed with school dances! We had events every weekend and enjoyed seeing all the students. Here are some photos from the school dances:

On August 18th Al and I DJed on Duke University’s East Campus Quad as students celebrated the end of the first day of freshman orientation. After an information session in the auditorium, they ate sno-cones and listened to us play the latest hip-hop and top 40 jams as well as a few new remixes. I think everyone enjoyed this Tuesday night entertainment.
