Does anyone offer a kids disco aimed at older children? I'm looking for some advice on this market. Eg what the format the show takes and equipment, etc.
Thanks Mark |

Well, it has to be done in a hall or area with a lot of room.
You need radio friendly music of course. Most legal, licensed DJs have this (search ERG Music). These events usually only last 2 hours. You'll need to do a lot of group dancing songs like YMCA, Bird/Chicken Dance, Cha Cha Slide, Macarena, The Hustle (My Eyes Don't Cry No More...by stevie wonder), The Hamster Dance, Cotton-Eyed Joe, The Locomotion/or the Train (quad city DJs), Limbo Rock (limbo contest can eat up a lot of time). Of course all the top pop hits (dependent on your country of course) but groups like Brittany Spears, Jonas Brother, High School Musical, Hilary Duff, Soulja boy.... You'll need an assortment of slow songs. I do every half hour 2 slow songs. Equipment: Minimum 300watt speakers. A good amp. 2 cd players or 2 Ipods. A mixer. Some people just use a laptop, but be weary due to licensing issues and sound quality and also the chance of computer crashes/freezing/lagging. You'll also need some basic chase lighting (4 par cans and a chaser) and maybe 1 special effect lighting (Vertigo..from American DJ). |
