| At Music on the Strand's DJ ENTERTAINMENT, we're dedicated to the development of effective party-making skills. As conscientious disc jockeys, much of our work is finding ways to pack the dance floor with people “gettin’ down,” showin' off their party moves and cheering each other on. As the beats of one favorite dance song meld into those of another, we're constantly looking for methods to fan the flames of the party. |
N. Charleston Center for the Perfoming Arts | Our aim is to sustain the excitement on the dance floor as folks respond to the music they love. They feed on the excitement in the music and we feed on their receptivity as we orchestrate interactive DANCE FLOOR PARTY ROUTINES that are designed to feed the fun.

Snowball Dance (to any appropriate, longer, slow song -or- whatever suits the party) - Starting with one couple dancing, (consisting of the Bar or Bat Mitzvah boy or girl and an adult partner during a Bar/Bat Mitzvah), whenever "Snowball" is called, those dancing go out amongst those in attendance not yet dancing and select someone to quickly bring back to the dance floor. Thus starting with 2 then making 4 then making 8 then 16, 32, etc. on the dance floor until there's no longer enough in attendance to double the dance floor population, at which time everyone is invited who hasn't been selected. The next command given is simply to change partners. A great way to pack the floor and provide grounds for lots of participation. Back To Top

Anniversary Dance (to "Remember When" by Alan Jackson) - An activity solely for the adults in attendance good while the kids are involved in an activity like "make your own sundae": All married folks are invited to the dance floor with their partner. All start dancing and continue until they are instructed to leave because they haven't yet been married for so and so many years. The number of years proceeds from 1 on up as far as possible e.g. "If you've been married for less than 20 years, please step off the dance floor." (At a wedding, the bride and groom can stay on the floor for the duration and then dance with the couple who have been married the longest.) Back To Top

Party Circle (to an array of music with an “up” feel and an easy, danceable tempo) - A circle of dancers with the focus on the individual(s) showing their "stuff" in the middle, gives everybody an opportunity to feel like a star and be appreciated, for as long as they’re comfortable in the spotlight (or until it’s someone else’s turn). Back To Top
|
Face Off (to a more “funky-sounding” array of music with an “up” feel and an easy, danceable tempo) - Two columns of dancers face each other, guys facing gals. Dance partners dance down the middle between the two columns. In that there's often an uneven number of guys facing gals, dancers often get matched with someone different when it's their turn, which adds to the excitement and variety. Back To Top
|
The Stroll (to “The Stroll” by the Diamonds) - A 50’s version of the Face Off with a more relaxed tempo, featuring easy to learn characteristic dance steps is a “must” at a Sock Hop or “Golden Oldies Spectacular” theme party. Back To Top
|
Human Arch (to an array of music with an “up” feel and a easy, danceable tempo) - The first couple joins hands and forms an arch. The second couple dances under the arch and then adds their hands making the arch a little bigger. The third couple dances under the arch and then joins their hands together, and so the arch grows with each new couple becoming a part of the arch after they’ve danced under its length. When the last couple has joined the arch, the first couple gets to dance under everybody’s joined hands. This process continues until each couple gets to dance through this human tunnel, which when long enough, can wind its way back and forth several times over the dance floor. Back To Top
