How To DJ School Dances In 2024 (CRUSH EVERY DANCE)

Many DJs avoid school dances like the plague and I understand why. Its hard. Kids are brutally honest and will tell you if you suck. It's very humbling and can be discouraging! However, if you change a few small things in your approach, you can do rock school dances each and every time!
If you would like the full track list. please visit:
empirestateevents.com/trackli...
Tip 1. MC and tell them what to do. Kids are awkward and likely haven't learned how to dance yet. Tell them what to do... ex: "Put em up put em up put em up" or " Everyyyyyyybody JUMP JUMP JUMP"
Tip 2: Quick Mix: One chorus, one verse and get on with it.
Tip 3: Programming idea: 3 songs for the girls, 1 song for the boys. 3:1 ratio
Tip 4: Don't overdue wordplays. Keep it to 1-3 per night
Tip 5: For proms, military balls and homecomings. DO NOT BRING EVOLVE 50s if you'd like to be hired back. The kids want to hear to bass from the parking lot

[@djromantics518]

deff grabbing one!

[@AndrewSenseney]

Love your set list! What website do you recommend for downloading songs with the "Intro" edit, for example?

[@djromantics518]

Appreciate you !!! I get all my music from Club Killers, Heavy Hits, DMS, Promo Only or DJCity when I need intro edits

[@MrMaui38]

This was littt!! Also what are your thoughts on those Shehds spot moving lights (did you say 230 watt) vs the Both lighting ones? Which one would you recommend between the two? Thanks man!

[@djromantics518]

The Shehds lights are great. I'm impressed so far. Shehds and both lighting are usually the same exact light without the branding. for mobile djs, Id reccomend the both lighting mh150s for their size, portability and functionality. Thanks for watching @mrmaui38

[@MrMaui38]

@@djromantics518 oh wow so there isn’t a difference between the two that’s great to know!

[@djromantics518]

Toadmatic they're about $5000 to start :(

[@gatchmanphoenix1418]

You rocked the room with 2 12’s and 2 18’s? Do you still believe in the column arrays anymore? Nevermind. lol. I just looked in your notes and seen Tip #5. Good stuff.

[@djromantics518]

Honestly, 400 kids, I wish we had 4 18s and 2 tops instead. I'm ordered 2 more 18s this week. I love my maui 44 gs for all weddings, but larger scale events and school dances call for the thump

[@djjoeyd5416]

Clean setup, what software are you using to control the tv?

[@djromantics518]

I use mix emergency, you could also use serato video or other softwares

[@dj_aj908]

I’m early in the video so apologies if you answer this later but how we feeling about that rev 5? I actually left it home this past weekend. All 3 days. I’m torn about it’s style vs it’s quality

[@djromantics518]

I'm not a huge fan, I love my rev7 or turntables personally. but Kyle loves it. its perfect for him atm

[@djchamberguy]

Love the rev5 great controller! I love the workflow of it!

[@kevinsounds]

How are you liking those both lighting tubes? Still on the fence about them

[@djromantics518]

Honestly very impressed overall. I didn’t like some of the colors but they are super durable and work well for what they are.

Those kids know Dancing Queen?! Wtf?

[@djromantics518]

Tik tok, make it stop,

[@pedrogonzalezjr9408]

Nice booth! Can you please share where you get it?

[@djromantics518]

Hey, it's a toadmatic, but they're grossly overpriced. I ended up buying this one used at a decent deal. If you're handy, you could make one yourself with under $1500 worth of materials

[@nickanderson9699]

Do you set off fire alarms when you "haze the room out"?

[@djromantics518]

it depends on the type of fire alarms, the size of the room, the type of hazer you use, how you use it, and venues permission. but no, ive not set them off at an actual event. I did however accidentally do that at a nightclub that we were programming lights for, after hours, whoops lol

[@djnvision]

@@djromantics518 hahaha I remember that EXACT time so clearly. One thing I think you should talk about (which I still struggle to find a good way) is how you "ask for permission". I have had a few venues recently not exactly know what it was and its kinda hard to describe it without using the word "fog".

[@ua7pyro591]

I know fog machines always set them off. Haze is a bit better. Optical sensors are easy to set off

[@georgeappleton4497]

Is your playlist available?

[@djromantics518]
